AI Article Synopsis
- This article examines how individuals perceive and interpret power based on their own power status, using psychological entitlement as a mediator through three studies with 895 participants.
- In powerful situations, people are likely to see power in a more socially responsible light, while those in powerless situations view it as contradictory.
- The findings highlight different perceptions of power depending on one's position, providing valuable insights for understanding power dynamics in social and organizational contexts.
Article Abstract
Introduction: This article investigates the effect of power on power construal through psychological entitlement as a mediator across three empirical studies ( = 895).
Methods: We examine how people in powerful and powerless conditions construe power, with psychological entitlement as a key mediator.
Results: We uncover a nuanced association whereby people in powerful conditions predominantly adopt socialized orientations to construe power, whereas in powerless conditions, people tend to construe power as a paradox. These different construals appear to be significantly mediated by the perceived psychological entitlement of powerful people.
Discussion: Our research provides insights into the nature of power by revealing two interesting phenomena: the powerful people prosocial gloss and the powerless people paradox. By extending the theory of culturally nurtured power concepts to include the impacts of power itself on power construal, our research offers insights into how power is construed differently based on one's power position (i.e., with or without power), enriching our understanding of power. This exploration broadens theoretical frameworks and implicates practical considerations in organizational and social settings.

Glob Health Res Policy
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine and Health, Sydney School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
There is a growing tendency in global discourse to describe a health issue as a security issue. But why is this health security language and framing necessary during times of crisis? Why is the term "health security" used when perhaps simply saying "public health" would do? As reference to 'health security' grows in contemporary discourse, research, advocacy, and policymaking, its prominence is perhaps most consequential in public health. Existing power dynamics in global health are produced and maintained through political processes.

Factors associated with treatment response in chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis at a single center: a retrospective cohort study.
Pediatr Rheumatol Online J
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Rheumatology, Seattle Children's Hospital, 4800 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA, 98105, USA.
Background: NSAIDs are commonly used as first line therapy in chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) but are not effective for all patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical variables associated with NSAID monotherapy response versus requiring second-line medication in a single-center cohort of patients with CNO.
Methods: The charts of children with CNO who attended a CNO clinic at a quaternary care center between 1/1/05 and 7/31/21 were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a leading known genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)-associated behaviors. A consistent and debilitating phenotype of FXS is auditory hypersensitivity that may lead to delayed language and high anxiety. Consistent with findings in FXS human studies, the mouse model of FXS, the Fmr1 knock out (KO) mouse, shows auditory hypersensitivity and temporal processing deficits.
