  1. Jan 10, 2022 · Initial dominance hierarchy formation may be influenced by multiple interacting factors, including an animal's individual attributes, conventions and self-organizing social dynamics. After establishment, hierarchies are typically maintained over the long-term because individuals save time, energy and reduce the risk of injury by recognizing and abiding by established dominance relationships.

  2. Jun 29, 2023 · The authors show that social hierarchies have a pyramidal structure across species. From infancy, humans use this assumption to infer unobserved dominance relations.

  3. From the extensive literature regarding hierarchies in nonhuman primates and humans, there are several important conclusions that can be drawn: (1) social hierarchies are a natural and necessary part of social groups; (2) status has a profound effect on thought and behavior; (3) the neural basis of status processing, particularly during development, is only beginning to be understood, and many ...

Social interactions are events in which sets of individuals (e.g. a dyad) engage in types of behaviours towards one another [5,138]. These behaviours may, for example, be moments of verbal or non ...

  5. Bruce T Lahn. In social animals, the formation of dominance hierarchy is essential for maintaining the stability and efficacy of social groups. A study by Wang and colleagues employ a combination of comparative genomic and functional approaches to shed new light on both the genetic mechanisms and the evolutionary histories of dominance behavior.

  6. Dominance is the aspect of social hierarchy that arises from agonistic interactions involving actual aggression or threats and intimidation. Accumulating evidence points to its importance in humans and its separation from prestige--an alternate mechanism in which status arises from competence or benefit-generation ability.
