Abstract
Five studies examine interpersonal power in women’s desire to pursue leadership. Increased perceptions of power predict women’s desires to pursue leadership positions (Studies 1-3). Gender composition moderates this effect, such that women – not men – anticipate having less power in domains dominated by the opposite gender (Studies 4-5).
