Definition

  • Dorwin Cartwright, in his presidential address to the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, noted that social power, long the prerogative of political scientists and philosophers, was a sadly neglected variable in social psychology. As director of the Research Center for Group Dynamics, he encouraged and coordinated his colleagues and other social psychologists in clarifying and exploring the dynamics of social power.
