Jan 10, 2022 · Much of this literature focuses on cross-sectional correlations, or the impact of dominant behaviours in more ephemeral interactions; such studies are nevertheless important as they demonstrate the efficacy of the interactional mechanisms underlying dominance to produce social influence over the very short term and in novel social groups and contexts.
