Based on this theory she did a research which included eight individuals, who were given thirteen questions related to their perception of God. After a full analysis of results, she joined them in five themes and then assigned them sub-themes. According to her research the relevant themes were: experiencing the importance of religion, perception of religious practice, experiencing the image of God, comparison of God with another person and describing who made a bigger impact on participant's life.
