Moderate Power Distance

This instrument estimates your power distance orientation. Power distance refers to the extent to which people accept unequal distribution of power in a society. Those with high power distance accept and value unequal power. They value obedience to authority and are comfortable receiving commands from their superiors without consultation or debate, and prefer to resolve differences through formal procedures rather than directly. In contrast, people with low power distance expect relatively equal power sharing. They view the relationship with their boss as one of interdependence, not dependence; that is, they believe their boss is also dependent on them, so they expect power sharing and consultation before decisions affecting them are made.

Low

People with high scores on this subscale tend to deal with stress by directing their energy to identify and seek justice against those perceived as the source of the stressor. This form of coping may include exhibiting emotions or engaging in behaviors that get back at the alleged perpetrators.

Furthermore, this strategy can potentially alienate others, which reduces opportunities for social support. Scores on this subscale range from 0 to 16. The average score in similar measures of coping is around 7.
