SIGNIFICANCE
Although power is a fundamental part of human relations, little is known about power in daily life. We studied the everyday experience of power by surveying individuals multiple times over 3 d regarding their subjective feelings of power and positional power. Power dynamics were a common, though not constant, experience. Rather than power being concentrated among a few individuals, almost half of participants reported sometimes holding high-power positions. People’s feelings of power did not always map onto the positions they held. Most variability in power was related to people’s changing situations rather than their stable traits. Low power negatively affected mood and cognition. Contrary to negative stereotypes of powerholders, higher power was associated with greater feelings of responsibility.
