Abstract
Based on the definitions of Bertram Raven, in 1999, for the eleven bases of social power, this study, with 448 university students, aimed to determinate their importance to the explanation of behaviors by those students due to being asked and influenced by their professors. The results showed that none of the bases of power demonstrate significantly influence on the student's behavior, and that professors who use more the personal reward, reference, expertise and information show completely opposite behaviors in relation to those who use the impersonal reward, personal coercion and impersonal coercion, being the first perceived as more supportive, cooperative, committed and competent.
