It relate to our life so close that many subjects began to study it, including psycology, sociology and management. The researchers tried to explain that how could power influence the individuals, the relationship between people and the society, so that we can know the mechanism of power completely. One of the views that obtained most reserchers’ approvement is that power is evil, power can induce the abuse of it. Many theories is brought out to support this point. Power-as-control model is a early model that combined the research of power and the cognitive psycology. It suggests that power is control, stereotype is a method to control others, and power can encourage the formation of stereotype, stereotype can increase the function of control in turn.Based on the power-as-control model, the obgective of this study is to examine the important conclusions of early research on the backgroud of China, in the meantime, we want to deepen this theroy and analyse the differences of the results between China and the western. This study collected college students as experiment sample, and we applied psycology experiments to compare the differences among the powerful, the powerless and the power-irrelevant. According to the data analysis, the study reached the following conclusions:compared to the powerless and the power-irrelevant, the powerful devote more attention to their partners; there is not too much difference between the attention of the stereotype-consist and the stereotype-inconsist information devoted by the powerful; the powerful would care more about the negative information and the powerless care more about the positive information about partners..There is a intresting point that the powerless did not pay as much attention as we expected, which may be out of the special culture of China.Finally, we discussed the limitations of this study from sample selection, the desine of experiment and the method of research. Also we brought out some suggestions that can improve the future study, including the pratical meanings in the practice of management.
