Abstract：This paper examines how power states influence prosocial behavior and demonstrates the nuanced underlying mechanism. To be specific, it explores the interactive effect of power states and recipient group-membership on donors’ generosity. Through three experiments, it shows the high power assists others via self-motivation while those in low power state give help because of their altruism. Recipient group-membership (in/out group) moderates this effect. On the one hand, relevant to the out-groups, the powerless are more willing to favor in-groups.
