This research examined the concept of power in Japan, France, Germany, and the United States, as well as beliefs about the emotions persons in power tend to elicit in others and about powerful people's regulation (specifically, inhibition) of certain emotions. Definitions of power were assessed by examining the importance of two main components: control over self versus other and freedom of action vis-à-vis social norms. Beliefs about both positive (pride, admiration) and negative (jealousy, contempt) emotions were measured. Analyses revealed that the concept of power differed across countries and that the definitions of power as well as country of origin significantly predicted beliefs about the emotions that are elicited in others by powerful people and also the regulation of expression of emotion by powerful people.
本研究考察了日本、法国、德国和美国的权力概念，以及关于掌权者往往会在他人身上引发的情绪的看法，以及关于有权势者对某些情绪的调节（具体而言，抑制）的看法。通过考察两个主要组成部分的重要性来评估权力的定义：对自我与他人的控制以及相对于社会规范的行动自由。测量了关于积极情绪（自豪、钦佩）和消极情绪（嫉妒、蔑视）的看法。分析表明，权力概念在不同国家有所不同，权力的定义以及来源国显著预测了关于有权势者在他人身上引发的情绪的看法，以及有权势者对情绪表达的调节。
