权力接近-抑制行为理论：基于元分析的理论拓展

he power approach-inhibition theory is an important theory for explaining the power-behavior relationship, but empirical studies applying the theory have findings that contradict the theory. By integrating a meta-analysis of 154 literatures and 261 effect sizes from 245 empirical samples exploring the relationship between power and approach and inhibition behavior from 20032023, this study examined the mechanism of the double-edged sword effect of the power and approach-inhibition behavior relationship and the boundary conditions, with a view to explaining the inconsistencies in the conclusions of previous studies.?The results showed that the power and approach-inhibition behavior relationship had a double-edged sword effect, with objective power indirectly increasing approach and decreasing inhibition through subjective power, as well as directly contributing to inhibition, and with subjective power having a stronger explanatory power for behavior than objective power. The moderating effect results showed that power distance strengthened the positive effect of subjective power on approach behavior and the negative effect of subjective power on inhibition behavior. The above findings help to deepen and expand the theoretical framework of power approach-inhibition behavior.
