What does it mean by psychological and cultural perspective of Power?

Five studies indicate that conceptualizations of power are important elements of culture and serve

culturally relevant goals. These studies provide converging evidence that cultures nurture different views

of what is desirable and meaningful to do with power. Vertical individualism is associated with a

conceptualization of power in personalized terms (i.e., power is for advancing one’s personal status and

prestige), whereas horizontal collectivism is associated with a conceptualization of power in socialized

terms (i.e., power is for benefiting and helping others). Cultural variables are shown to predict beliefs

about appropriate uses of power, episodic memories about power, attitudes in the service of power goals,

and the contexts and ways in which power is used and defended. Evidence for the cultural patterning of

power concepts is observed at both the individual level and the cultural-group level of analysis.
