1 (a) What is the major goal of the researchers in this study? (b)What gaps in the literature are they trying to fill? (c) Why is this research important?
In both studies: The major goal is to test whether making interviewees think about a time they were in power increases their chances of succeeding in an interview. The studies aim to explore the major effects that power has on people.The research is important since it explains the psychology required to handle interviews..In both studies: The major goal is to test whether making interviewees think about a time they were in power increases their chances of succeeding in an interview.

2 What is the major argument (the theoretical rationale) for the hypotheses?
226060193040 The researchers argue that the mere action of people remembering their time in a position of power changed the overall perception that others had over them and equally changed the professional outcomes in the event of a job interview or an interview to gain admission into an academic institution. They argue this based on the fact that job applicants often feel powerless in an interview situation because their chances of getting the job is solely dependent on the interviewers. Priming power is therefore a way of increasing the sense of control, confidence and security within the applicants in a manner that can enable them to perform well.00 The researchers argue that the mere action of people remembering their time in a position of power changed the overall perception that others had over them and equally changed the professional outcomes in the event of a job interview or an interview to gain admission into an academic institution.
