Why does power lead to action? Theories of power suggest it leads to action because it presses the psychological gas pedal. A review of two decades of research finds, instead, that power releases the psychological brakes on action. Power releases the psychological brakes on action by making failure seem less probable and feel less painful, thereby decreasing the downside risks of action. Power releases the psychological brakes on action by shrouding the feelings and thoughts of others, thereby diminishing the perceived social costs of action. Power releases the psychological brakes on action by limiting goal-inhibiting distractions, thereby promoting greater goal focus and focusing the mind on action. By removing these psychological barriers to action, power leads to action.
权力为什么会导致行动？权力理论表明，权力会导致行动，因为它会踩下心理油门。对过去二十年研究的回顾发现，相反，权力会解除行动的心理刹车。权力通过使失败看起来不太可能和感觉不那么痛苦来解除行动的心理刹车，从而降低行动的下行风险。权力通过掩盖他人的感受和想法来解除行动的心理刹车，从而减少行动的感知社会成本。权力通过限制抑制目标的干扰来解除行动的心理刹车，从而促进更大的目标专注并使思维集中在行动上。通过消除这些行动的心理障碍，权力会导致行动。
