How to understand the power dynamic in your relationship—and what you can do to make it more equal, by swhitbo
Research on power dynamics in workplace settings suggests that rules in relationships can fluctuate from day to day.
The same principle applies to relationship rules. Those guidelines for behavior that you both follow were decided upon at some point, and now you both try your best to adhere to them. It’s in the carrying out of those rules that relationship dynamics really play out. The latest insight into these types of power dynamics comes from research carried out in an organizational setting, but that still has a bearing on power as a component of any relationship. According to Tyler Sabey and colleagues from Texas A&M University , power can be defined as “mental representations of asymmetric control or influence overvalued resources in relation to others” .
Turning now to the measures, the employees rated themselves on a set of 8 statements with instructions to do so as they “felt right then.” Two sample statements reflecting perceptions of power are: “I can get people to do what I want” and “I think I have a great deal of power.” The measure of variability of these ratings across times and days became the index of power fluctuation.
