DefinitionPower distance refers to the extent to
which members of a given society expect and accept that power is distributed unequally in society. In high power distance societies, an emotional distance separates subordinates from authorities. In low power distance societies there is an expectation of relative equitable distribution of power.

Conclusion / 1
1/The Factor Analysis verifies the strong link between the types of political protest.
2/The Smallest Space Analysis (SSA) shows a clear progression from the least involved and least demanding form of activity to the most
involved and most demanding.

Conclusion / 23/The Multidimensional partial order analysis
classifies the various countries along a diagonal from those with low levels of political participation to those with higher levels.
4/ Lawful demonstrations are found to play a pivotal role in the typology of political protest, between the less involved anonymous types of protest and the more demanding and personally engaging types.

Conclusion / 3
5/A correlation (partial mediation analysis) was recognized between power distance and political protest. This seems to indicate that participationin these types of political protest is linked to the culturally mediated self organized around the distribution of power in society.
