Research
The Ayako Matrix research is based on education and experience which is ultimately refined on perspective taking and on my judgment in the West African traditions of marriage, Systems Engineering and the Psychological field. The research on this matrix is scientific, significantly based but on a theme of human values. The goal is to assist in couples understanding of each other’s perceptions. Finally, judgment is based on variation to the average couple. The “average couple” is considered a normal, standard or usual. In other words it is meant to be a baseline within the designated group.
