The functioning of social institutions apparently requires some degree of status
differentiation (Parsons, 1951). A dominance/submission dimension emerges in most
empirical analyses of interpersonal relations both within and across cultures (Lonner,
1980). To justify this fact of social life and to motivate group members to accept it, groups must treat power as a value. Power values may also be transformations of individual
needs for dominance and control. Value analysts have mentioned power values as well
(e.g., Allport, 1961). (authority, wealth, social power) [preserving my public image, social
