Abstract

An article discusses the use of activation in experimental psychological research, focusing on the categories associated with power and money. It further addresses the issue of potential chronic power and money activation by relating to the observable differences between students of management and economics and those of other disciplines. Results of the study conducted on the students of three Warsaw high schools are presented (N = 134), suggesting that the abovementioned differences stem from self-selection rather than socialization.
