psychological-size

Question: How does the concept of psychological size connect with our discussion here on power. Further, how does upward and downward communication relate to our conversation here on power? Answer: The psychological size concept has a special importance when it comes to positions of authority. This power can lead to there being an influence on the process of communication. Psychological size also affects the people determining the manner in which things are being done (Wong, Wong, Heng, 2007). Power can also lead to there being reluctance towards a two-way communication and leading to a communication being one way since there might be reluctance in the people to offend the people in power (Franke, 1993).
