The bases of power refer to the sources of influence and control that individuals or groups have over others. There are five main bases of power identified by social psychologists:
1. Coercive power: This type of power is based on the ability to punish or threaten others with negative consequences if they do not comply with one's demands.
2. Reward power: This type of power is based on the ability to provide rewards or incentives to others in exchange for their compliance or cooperation.
3. Legitimate power: This type of power is based on the formal authority or position held by an individual, such as a manager or a government official.
4. Referent power: This type of power is based on the personal characteristics or qualities of an individual that make them attractive or likable to others, leading them to want to comply with their requests.
5. Expert power: This type of power is based on the knowledge, skills, or expertise that an individual possesses, which gives them credibility and influence over others in a particular domain.
