What is power motivation?
editPower motivation, also known as need for power, is "a desire to influence, control, or impress others", and "receive acclaim" for that behaviour[1]. Power motivation is learned over a significant period of time, particularly in childhood, and is enduring and stable across somebody's entire life[2]. However, power motivation is distinct from genuine influence[3] and individuals who score highly on power motivation are more likely to attempt to influence people, but no more proficiently than anyone else[4]. This tendency to try and influence people, especially those seen as easily influenced, begins even in childhood[5], with these children pushing others to conform to their desires.

Key points
edit- Provide at least three bullet-points per headingʔ and sub-heading, including for the Overview and Conclusion

Figures
edit- Use figures to illustrate concepts, add interest, and to serve as examples
- Figures can show photos, diagrams, graphs, video, audio, etcetera
- Embed figures throughout the chapter, including the Overview section
- Figures should be captioned (using Figure #. and a caption). Use captions to explain the relevance of the image to the text/
- Wikimedia Commons provides a library of embeddable images
- Images can also be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons if they are openly licensed
- Refer to each figure at least once in the main text (e.g., see Figure 2)
Learning features
editInteractive learning features help to bring online book chapters to life and can be embedded throughout the chapter.
- Scenarios
- Scenarios or case studies describe applied/real-world examples of concepts in action
- Case studies can be real or fictional
- A case study could be split into multiple boxes throughout a chapter (e.g., to illustrate different theories or stages)
- It is often helpful to present case studies using feature boxes.
- Feature boxes
- Important content can be highlighted in a feature box. But don't overuse feature boxes, otherwise they lose their effect.
- Consider using feature boxes for:
- Scenarios, case studies, or examples
- Focus questions
- Tips
- Quiz questions
- Take-home messages
- Links
- When key words are introduced, use interwiki links to:
- Wikipedia (e.g., Sigmund Freud wrote about (e.g., dreams) or
- Related book chapters (e.g., writer's block)
- Tables
- Use to organise and summarise information
- As with figures, tables should be captioned
- Refer to each table at least once in the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
- Example 3 x 3 tables which could be adapted

Conclusion
edit- The Conclusion is arguably the most important section
- Suggested word count: 150 to 330 words
- It should be possible for someone to only read the Overview and the Conclusion and still get a pretty good idea of the problem and what is known based on psychological science
