Then each scale will be briefly reviewed. Social influence is defined as ' change in the belief, attitude, or behavior of a person (the target of influence), which results from the action of another person (an influencing agent) ', and social power as the potential for such influence. Dr. Raven has been an active member of SPSSI; among other roles, he has served as both Editor of the Journal of Social Issues (1970-1973) and President of the Society (1973-1974). the fracture points to be overcome in the process of policy delivery is Likert (1961), p. 91; Kelly (1955), pp. In this type of situation persons who have few resources in the sense of power and influence, have a "legitimate" right to influence those who are more powerful. This scaling procedure implies a "single common factor" model (Green, 1954). endobj Social influence is defined as ' change in the belief, attitude, or behavior of a person (the target of influence), which results from the action of another person (an influencing agent) ', and social power as the potential for such influence.

This paper develops further an approach to the analysis of social influence and power which was first presented in a joint paper with J. R. P. French, Jr. French and Raven, 1959. 234f. The item also was not classified as an indicator in the other categories a total of 3 or more times (either within another category or over several categories.) x \ Finally, since A's knowledge of B's compliance is necessary in order for B to be rewarded, B will want to relate his compliance to A and maintain A's surveillance of B's behavior. The research questions guiding this study include. The final power basis, information, differs from the previous bases in that it is "independent" of the influencing agent (Deutsch and Gerard, 1955). While using this approach lessens the external validity of the results, it does allow other researchers to easily and rather inexpensively test the findings.] Cf.

The empirical data reveal that own cooperation and expert power are the most frequently cited bases of power to influence purchase decisions. >> 371-382. The primary distinction between these two power bases rests on the influencee's attraction to the influencer. For the expert situations, it was difficult to generate a situation free of informational power. Low and high expertise power was created by presenting the salesman as either "above average" or "excellent" on six attributes of selling ability and training.

If other situational and internal forces balance A's force, then no change will occur. While a thorough review of common experimental treatment operationalizations of the other social power bases is beyond the scope of this paper, it should be noted that they seldom are more sophisticated than that of those mentioned above. This surveillance by A is also important for another power base, coercion. Fischer and Vauclair (2011) view power in social influence as the influence of the expert person, i.e, the individual with greater expertise and knowledge than the individual being. Cf. Schffer/Steiners (2005), pp. The predictive validity of the SP scales was examined by performing a one way ANOVA, with the situations as the treatments and a power score as the dependent variable.

A review of the social power literature indicates that one basic problem is the lack of a proven scale for measuring social power. Bruins (1999), p. 7; Mallalieu/Faure (1998), p. 408. Busch and Wilson (1976) employed this method in a study on the effect of life insurance salesmen's expert and referent bases of social power on subject's trust in the salesman, overall attitude toward life insurance and several behavioral measures. endobj 2. The effect of the social power treatment on various dependent variables can then be tested. Table 3 presents this analysis, using the three highest loading items in each scale to calculate the scores. The strength of A's power is thus dependent on the size of the mediated outcome and the probability that A can mediate the reward. The fourth assumption also seemed reasonable since trained judges were used to select the scale items. stream Schffer/ Steiners (2004), pp. William E. Pollard and Terence R.

Referent power, involving identification of P with O, will tend to have the broadest range. This relatively homogeneous population of subjects restricts the generalizability of the results. The third panel to be selected operationalized different bases of power (e.g., (Reward) "If you do, I will keep it in mind--there are ways that I can help you," (Legitimate) "I'm asking you to do this as a part of my job.") Registered in England & Wales No. First, for one person to "have power over B" does not necessarily mean that A is having an observable effect on B. However, if the power rests on limited role characteristics, it is unlikely that A will have power outside the role situation.

Mitchell, "Decision Theory Analysis of Social Power," Psychological Bulletin, 78 (November, 1972), 433-446. In the family power structure literature, for example, the wide variety of definitions and measures has led some researchers to question the usefulness of the power concept (Safilios-Rothschild, 7970). Such checks were not presented in the Leet-Pellegrini and Rubin study. ; Frazier/Summers (1984), p. 45; Kipnis/Schmidt/Wilkinson (1980), p. 447. startxref An area of interest to attitude change researchers which might provide evidence for construct validity would be a comparison of the SP scales with the social influence components of the extended Fishbein model (Fishbein and Ajzen, 1975). This study attempts to provide such a scale. 49f. Although there has been considerable research on social power and the French and Raven bases, there has been little to improve the operationalizations of these concepts. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press. For example, cf. In contrast, influence strategies involving promises and threats are affected by the agents ability to bestow them.

Overview A Likert scale development format was used for this study and included the following major steps: (1) A large pool of belief statements which reflect different characteristics of a social power situation was generated; (2) Judges rated these items to select those which clearly indicate a particular type of power: (3) Influence situations were generated and judged for use as standards for scale development. Trusting the influencer's knowledge and experience were the primary elements in this factor. Lee J. Cronbach, "Coefficient Alpha and the Internal Structure of Tests," Psychometrika, 16 (1951). Approximately 25 other subjects were eliminated from the study because of incomplete questionnaires. Cf. However, the "normative function" of a reference group is analogous to the reward and coercion power bases discussed above. 163f. chenbo zhong, University of Toronto, Canada, Lingru Wei, Tencent Holdings Limited This paper concludes (See Figure 1 for examples.) $R[tWk=s|8j3bWLo>%r6&Pqq8FW. William McKelvy, "An Approach for Developing Shorter and Better Measuring Instruments," Working Paper #76-6, Human Systems Development Study Center, UCLA, 1976. Some of the assumptions which underlie the Likert procedure are: (1) the concept being measured is unidimensional; (2) the intervals between adjacent responses are equal; (3) the intervals are equal across items; and (4) a "positive" direction can be determined for each item (Runkle and McGrath, 1972, p. 314). French and Raven's (1959) original framework presents five bases of power that the Barry E. Collins and Bertram Raven, "Group Structure: Attraction, Coalitions, Communication and Power," in G. Lindsey and E. Aronson (eds.) reported as particularly valued by the public official. Sanctions refer to using threats or sanctions to reach compliance. familiar with the French and Raven typology. Bert F.

The effectiveness of the experimental treatments is often not verified by manipulation check measures. Hirst/Baxter (1993) further remark: This section outlines the analytical frameworks used in the case to typify [] the role of information.

The effect of the social power treatment on various dependent variables can then be tested. 20, In addition, single item measures are subject to many sources of error and do not allow for the assessment of reliability. This approach is quite suitable for "subjective areas where external criterion variables have not yet been identified or where the emphasis is on discovering and defining new theoretical constructs and accompanying operational measures." Cf. The item also was not classified as an indicator in the other categories a total of 3 or more times (either within another category or over several categories.). : Addison-Wesley, 1954). In summary, the scales for the French and Raven power bases provide reasonable levels of internal consistency. While an appropriate reliability level depends on the variety in item content desired and the reliability of other constructs in a given research situation, a commonly accepted reliability level for most basic psychological research is 0.70 (see Nunnally, p. 226).
