The narrow range of perceived predation – a 19 group study
Abstract
This paper rests largely on the works of ---- (1999 to 2012). It argues that the phenomenon of perceived predation as a functional behavioural phenomenon is subjected within certain limits, a finding based on studies performed on 19 different groups spread over a four-year span. It also finds a constant of k = 1.3 which reflects the invariant nature of perceived predation. These findings add to the theory of financial predation which stipulates that financial predators operate below the limits of detection on the part of their customers (and of market regulators). They are experts at minimizing the perception that clients could have that they are after their money, causing them financial harm, by surprise (perceived predation). Understanding the narrow range in which financial predators operate is setting the grounds to offer better protection to investors and to implementing better control and punitive measures.
