Risk and Justice in Power-Dependence Relations

这是一个进行一系列实验测试的建议， 交换网络中的功率使用理论。 工作是道路- 它开始发展一种理论上的理解， 使用惩罚的权力。 当代社会学理论 交换和权力概念化了奖励的重要性， 要么忽略惩罚的效果，要么将惩罚 仅仅是作为离开这个领域的动力 的紧急情况 这种选择是不可能的，理论是沉默的范围， 改变刑罚效力的效果和条件。 先前的实验表明，奖励和惩罚的力量是 在不同的条件下使用，有不同的效果， 支持理论扩展的大致轮廓 提出了 将进行实验来检验一种理论， 预测这两种类型将根据 感知的使用风险和感知的效果公平。

This is a proposal to conduct a sequence of experimental tests of a theory of power use in exchange networks. The work is path- breaking in that it begins to develop a theoretical understanding of the use of punishment power. Current sociological theories of exchange and power conceptualize the importance of rewards, either omitting the effects of punishments or treating punishment solely as an impetus to leave the field. For situations where that option is impossible, theory is silent on the scope of its effects and conditions which modify punishment's effectiveness. Previous experiments have shown reward and punishment power are used under different conditions and have different effects, thus supporting the broad outlines of the theoretical extension proposed. Experiments will be conducted testing a theory which predicts that the two types will be used depending upon the perceived risk of use and the perceived equity of their effects.
