Sense Of Power

BackgroundSeveral studies identified low subjective feelings of power in women with anorexia nervosa (AN). However, little is known about implicit power motives and the discrepancy between explicit feelings of power and implicit power motives in AN.AimThe study investigated the discrepancy between explicit feelings of power and implicit power motives and its relationship to anxiety in patients with AN.MethodFifty-three outpatients and inpatients with AN and 48 participants without AN were compared regarding subjective feelings of power and anxiety. Explicit power [investigated with the Personal Sense of Power Scale (trait focus) and a visual analog scale (state focus)], implicit power motives [investigated with the Multi-Motive Grid (MMG)] and trait anxiety [measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)], were assessed.ResultsExplicit feelings of power (state and trait level) were lower in patients with AN compared to non-AN participants. No differences in implicit power motives were found when comparing the groups against each other. However, looking at the groups separately, women with AN had similar levels of implicit fear of losing power and hope for power, whereas woman without AN had significantly lower fear of losing power than hope for power. Focusing on discrepancies between powerful feelings and power motives, results were mixed, depending on the subscale of the MMG. Lastly, discrepancies between implicit power motives and explicit feelings of power were positively correlated with trait anxiety in AN patients.ConclusionThese findings underline that individuals with AN display significantly lower explicit feelings of power, however, they show similar implicit power motives compared to individuals without AN. The discrepancy between explicit feelings of power and implicit power motives is related to anxiety in AN and may represent a vulnerability factor to illness maintenance.

Money Priming

Two experiments were conducted to explore the effects of trait power and money priming on College Students' impulse buying. In both experiments, Sense of Power Scale (SPS) was used to select subjects with high and low trait power to participate in the experiment; in Experiment 1, scrambled-words task was used to activate the concept of money; in Experiment 2, the method of mindset priming was used to activate the amount of money. The results show that: (1) After the concept of money is activated, individuals with low trait power have higher impulse purchase intention than those with high trait power, regardless of whether they are rich or poor; however, there is no significant difference between high and low power groups in no money concept priming group. (2) No matter whether the level of individual's trait power is high or low, compared with the condition of lack of money, individuals have higher impulse purchase intention under the condition of money abundance.

Sense Of Power

Abstract. The present research was aimed at providing a German version of the Personal Sense of Power Scale (GPSPS; Anderson et al., 2012 ) and testing its psychometric properties. A personal sense of power describes the perception of one’s ability to influence others. Probably every human relationship can be characterized by differences in power, which means that the measurement of experienced power is highly relevant. The availability of appropriate measures in different languages will help improve research and cross-cultural comparisons. Five studies were conducted. Internal consistency was high across all studies. Stability across 6 and 12 weeks was also high. A good fit was observed for a 6-item unidimensional version. Correlations with a variety of psychological and sociodemographic variables were in the expected directions, supporting nomological and criterion validity (Study 1). Measurement invariance across gender was demonstrated. In support of construct validity, a clinical sample scored significantly lower than others. Finally, two studies showed the sensitivity of a state version of the scale. We encourage researchers to use this scale as a reliable and valid instrument for assessing trait and state power.

This paper firstly adopts a fault accommodation structure, a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with trapezoidal back-electromagnetic forces, in order to enhance the fault tolerance of tidal current energy conversion systems. Meanwhile, a fault-tolerant control (FTC) method is proposed using multiple second-order generalized integrators (multiple SOGIs) to further improve the systematic fault tolerance. Then, additional harmonic disturbances from phase current or back-electromagnetic forces in original and Park’s frames are characterized under a single-phase open condition. Relying on a classical field-oriented vector control scheme, fault-tolerant composite controllers are then reconfigured using multiple SOGIs by compensating q-axis control commands. Finally, a real power-scale simulation setup with a gearless back-to-back tidal current energy conversion chain and a small power-scale laboratory prototype in machine side are established to comprehensively validate feasibility and fault tolerance of the proposed method. Simulation results show that the proposed method is able to suppress the main harmonic disturbances and maintain a satisfactory fault tolerance when third harmonic flux varies. Experimental results reveal that the proposed model-free fault-tolerant design is simple to implement, which contributes to better fault-tolerant behaviors, higher power quality and lower copper losses. The main advantage of the multiple SOGIs lies in convenient online implementation and efficient multi-harmonic extractions, without considering system’s model parameters. The proposed FTC design provides a model-free fault-tolerant solution to the energy harvested process of actual tidal current energy conversion systems under different working conditions.
