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.
Popularity, rather than social preference or acceptance, more closely resembles the dominance hierarchies in humans and nonhuman primates (Coie et al., 1982; Petit et al., 1990), and it has become the more widely accepted metric for social status in childhood in adolescence (reviewed in Cillessen & Marks, 2011).
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.

Jan 10, 2022 · Across species, social hierarchies are often governed by dominance relations. In humans, where there are multiple culturally valued axes of distinction, social hierarchies can take a variety of forms and need not rest on dominance relations. Consequently, humans navigate multiple domains of status, i.e. relative standing.
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.
Jan 10, 2022 · Dominance captures behavioural patterns found in social hierarchies that arise from agonistic interactions in which some individuals coercively exploit their control over costs and benefits to extract deference from others, often through aggression, threats and/or intimidation. Accumulating evidence points to its importance in humans and its ...

Oct 31, 2019 · How humans and other social species form social hierarchies is one of the oldest puzzles of the behavioral and biological sciences. Considerable evidence now indicates that in humans social stratification is principally based jointly on dominance (coercive capacity based on strength, threat, and intimidation) and prestige (persuasive capacity based on skills, abilities, and knowledge).
