Felt Power Scale

What it measures

Measures the extent to which a person feels powerful at a specific point in time. The scale captures momentarily experienced feelings of power as a psychological state rather than as an enduring trait or social position. Intended for use in experimental contexts where power states are manipulated and a brief check of felt power is required.

Representative items

• Please indicate the extent to which you feel powerful.
• Please indicate the extent to which you feel mighty.
