Self-Perceptions of Power

Twenty-five business students and 34 social work students enrolled in graduate programs participated in a study that used the Power Perception Profile—Perception of Self (PPP) to measure their perceptions of their use of power. The two groups were divided into four subgroups based on their educational concentration or major. All four of the study's null hypotheses, which stated that there would be no significant differences between the subgroups and between the genders in regard to scores on the 14 scales of the PPP, were rejected. No correlation emerged between age and perceptions of power. The subgroup consisting of 19 social work students, whose concentration was interpersonal intervention, seemed to account for much of the differences found in the study
