The present research examined if cultural differences in the extent to which hierarchical relations dictate individuals’ behaviors are embedded in objective institutional regulations.

Does influence beget autonomy? Clarifying the relationship between social and personal power (2017)
Journal Article

We iteratively develop and test a model to clarify the relationship between both high and low levels of social (influence) and personal (autonomy) power. A meta-analysis synthesising primary data (n = 298) and secondary data (n = 498) found that impa... Read More about Does influence beget autonomy?

Power moves beyond complementarity: A staring look elicits avoidance in low power perceivers and approach in high power perceivers (2017)

Sustained, direct eye-gaze — staring — is a powerful cue that elicits strong responses in many primate and non-primate species. The present research examined whether fleeting experiences of high and low power alter individuals’ spontaneous responses...

Stuck in the heat or stuck in the hierarchy? Power relations explain regional variations in violence (2017)
Journal Article
Weick, M., Vasiljevic, M., Uskul, A., & Moon, C. (2017). Stuck in the heat or stuck in the hierarchy? Power relations explain regional variations in violence. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 40, Article e102. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x1600114x

We contend that an ecological account of violence and aggression requires consideration of societal and cultural settings. Focusing on hierarchical relations, we argue countries with higher (vs. lower) power distance are, on average, located closer t... Read More about Stuck in the heat or stuck in the hierarchy? Power relations explain regional variations in violence.

The underwriter and the models - solo dances or pas-de-deux? What policy data can tell us about how underwriters use models (2017)
Report
Armstrong, S., Weick, M., Sandberg, A., Snyder-Beattie, A., & Beckstead, N. (2017). The underwriter and the models - solo dances or pas-de-deux? What policy data can tell us about how underwriters use models. [No known commissioning body]

Using a collection of data on some of the catastrophe policies written since 2006 by a major reinsurance organisation, this paper explores how tightly underwriters follow the models and under what conditions they deviate from them.
