Sammendrag
The current study investigates if power enhances the inclination to use sarcastic
irony in a hypothetical work setting. In addition to gender, trait dominance is
included as a potential moderator. Results suggest that high situational power
increased inclination to use sarcastic irony, and that males were more inclined to
use sarcastic irony compared to females. Results do not suggest that trait
dominance had an effect on the inclination to use irony.
