โฆ Synopsis
Previous work has led to divergent conclusions about how power affects the accuracy of network perceptions in groups and organizations. This paper develops and tests an argument linking higher power to less accurate network perception.

The second experiment demonstrated that such differences in perceptual accuracy do not emerge for non-social relations.
