Inhaltszusammenfassung
We examined the relationship between the implicit power motive (nPow) and the frequency of verbal persuasion behavior (VPB) in dyads of children, while they negotiated a task assignment over a period of 6 min. Sixty-six German children (32 female) aged between 6 and 8 years (M = 7.12, SD = 0.42) participated. First, we assessed children’s implicit power motive by a 6-image Picture Story Exercise (PSE) and had the parents rate their children's shyness via the Children’s Behavior Questionnaire ...We examined the relationship between the implicit power motive (nPow) and the frequency of verbal persuasion behavior (VPB) in dyads of children, while they negotiated a task assignment over a period of 6 min. Sixty-six German children (32 female) aged between 6 and 8 years (M = 7.12, SD = 0.42) participated. First, we assessed children’s implicit power motive by a 6-image Picture Story Exercise (PSE) and had the parents rate their children's shyness via the Children’s Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ). In a dyadic situation approximately 4 months later, children high in nPow used VPB more frequently, regardless of whether the second child was also high in nPow or not. Additionally, shy children showed less VPB. The implications of these results for implicit motive theory and behavioral research in children are discussed.
