Statistical
Research on Stages of Power since 1985
Master's
thesis on Stages of Power and Fear of Death
Statistical research
on personal power derived from the Personal Power Profile.
There
are three general principles that we discovered as a result of our
research since 1985.
- There is no direct
link between a person's age and their home stage. As we age, our
home stage does not necessarily change.
- There is no direct
link between a person's gender and their home stage. Being male
or female, is not a predictor of a person's home stage.
- There is no statistically
significant relationship between the stages, i.e., attainment
of one stage is not predictive of reaching other stages.
