Powerful People Think Differently: Power and Reliance on Associative Knowledge in Consumption Contexts
We provide deeper insights into the knowledge structures on which powerful and powerless consumers rely on when making judgments and decisions. To do so, we make a distinction between associative (i.e. implicit) and propositional (i.e. explicit) knowledge and posit that powerful people rely more heavily on associative knowledge than powerless people.
