Survival Power: An Empirical Analysis of Power in a Life and Death Situation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper seeks to identify what antecedents of power make it more or less likely for people to survive in a life-threatening situation. In particular, we look at the Titanic disaster as the life or death situation. Maritime disasters can be interpreted as quasi-natural experiment because every person is affected by the shock True human nature becomes apparent in such a dangerous situation. Five antecedents of power are distinguished: physical strength, economic resources, nationality, social and moral factors. This empirical analysis supports the notion that power is a key determinant in extreme situations of life or death.
