**God is the political trump card that ends every argument.**
Once someone says “God wants this,” the conversation is over. It’s not spirituality — it’s a power move.

Psychotherapy Commission ACPE Mar 16

The article examines how people consistently underestimate their influence in close relationships and how personal motives shape this bias. It uses data from multiple samples to show underestimation, with gender differences and links to self-protection, power, and commitment motives. The findings suggest a protective bias that may promote cooperation but could also mask true influence.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it highlights how perceived power within relationships interacts with attachment styles, personality traits, and cultural context, offering insight into relationship dynamics and communication patterns.
