          Abstract

          Las investigaciones sobre el poder social y su influencia en las prácticas de consumo ponen de manifiesto la disposición a pagar más por un producto de alto estatus en función de la sensación de poder percibido por el consumidor. Así, cuando se experimenta una pérdida de poder, cuando se percibe que otros regulan las consecuencias y los resultados propios, la compra estatutaria se convierte en restauradora de poder, lo que se explica por la hipótesis de la restauración. El poder tiene efectos además sobrela conducta, el afecto y la cognición, por lo que se ha estudiado su relación en el proceso de toma de decisión y en los comportamientos de riesgo. Así, la presente investigación tiene como soporte que si la compra estatutaria serelaciona con la obtención de bienestar y el tener o no poder afecta los comportamientos de compra, puede existir una relación entre la sensación de poder, la compra de tipo hedónico o experiencial y los comportamientos de aproximación e inhibición en un sector específico de consumidores. Se llevó a cabo un estudio correlacional, con un muestreo no probabilístico en el que se encuestaron 135 personas de los sectores LGBT, con el propósito de identificar la relación entre las categorías de consumo de diversión y la sensación de poder. Los resultados muestran que el sexo como actividad se puede considerar como restaurador de poder, y la percepción alta de poder es un activador de la aproximación al consumo de viajes y fiestas como una variable contextual donde se gesta el consumo experiencial.

          Research into social power and its influence on consumer practices demonstrates the willingness to pay more for a high status product in accordance with the sense of power perceived by the consumer. Thus, when loss of power is experienced, when it is perceived that others regulate the consequences and the results, statutory purchasing becomes a restorer of power, which is explained by the hypothesis of restoration. Power also has effects on behaviour, affection and cognition, and their relationship has been studied in the decision making process and risk behaviours. Thus, this study is based on the assumption that, if the statutory purchase itself is related to obtaining benefits, and having power or not affects purchasing behaviours, there may be a relationship between the sense of power, hedonic or experiential purchasing, and behaviours of approach and inhibition in a specific sector of consumers. This study was conducted using a correlational design, in which 135 people from the LGBT sector were surveyed by non-probability sampling, in order to identify the relationship between leisure consumption categories and the feeling of power. The results show that sex as an activity can be considered as a restorer of power, and a high perception of power is an activator of the approach to the consumption of trips and parties as a contextual variable where experiential consumption is created.

              The personal sense of power.

              Scholars who examine the psychological effects of power have often argued that possessing power shapes individual behavior because it instills an elevated sense of power. However, little is known about the personal sense of power because very few studies have examined it empirically. In studies involving a total of 1,141 participants and nine different samples, we found that the personal sense of power was coherent within social contexts; for example, individuals who believed that they can get their way in a group also believed that they can influence fellow group members' attitudes and opinions. The personal sense of power was also moderately consistent across relationships but showed considerable relationship specificity; for example, individuals' personal sense of power vis-à-vis their friend tended to be distinct but moderately related to their personal sense of power vis-à-vis their parent. And the personal sense of power was affected not only by sociostructural factors (e.g., social position, status) but also by personality variables such as dominance.
