A snazzy new video from the folks at U.C. Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center gives a brief overview of their research on the unexpected consequences of feeling powerful. Their studies have shown, for example, that even when you give people a teensy bit of (mostly pretend) power, they tend to act in ways that are more impulsive and more selfish。

　　Dacher Keltner, a U.C. Berkeley psychologist, describes what he’s come to call their Cookie Monster study: He and his team divided study participants into groups of three, randomly assigning one person to act as the leader. The researchers gave the trios a relatively boring task and made them work on that for a little while, and then brought in a plate of four cookies. Each participant took one, and they left the fourth for a little while, but in most groups, the leader eventually grabbed the last cookie for themselves。

　　伯克利大学的心理学专家、达契尔·克特纳对他自称为“蓝色甜怪饼”研究的项目成果是这样介绍的：他和他的研究团队将研究参与者分为三人一组的各个团队，在各个团队中随机选出一名领导者。研究者们对每队三人组合分配一项稍嫌繁琐的任务，让各组花时间共同完成这一任务，然后给每组端上一盘四块饼干。每个成员都取一块饼干，将第四块饼干弃置在盘里，稍过片刻，然而，在大多数团队中，最终都是领导者拿去最后一块饼干自己吃掉了。

　　小编注：“蓝色甜怪饼”是是美国公共广播协会制作播出的儿童教育电视节目《芝麻街》中的一个卡通角色。

　　But Keltner says that one of his grad students noticed something they weren’t exactly expecting: an apparent correlation between perceived power and terrible table manners. "He came to me and he’s like, I think people are eating differently when they have power," Keltner says in the video. "And, lo and behold, our high-power person is more likely to eat with their mouth open, lips smacking, crumbs literally like falling onto their sweater. It’s ridiculous."

　　不过，克特纳称他的一个研究生注意到了一种出人意料的现象：权利意识和糟糕的餐桌礼仪之间有着明显的联系。“他走过来，对我说，‘我觉得，当人们掌握权力的时候，他们饮食的方式会发生变化。’”克特纳在视频里说，“你瞧，那些手握重权的人吃饭时往往是大张着嘴，咂着嘴唇，食物残杂如雨一般落到他们的衣服上。一副滑稽模样。
