Primates tend to live in hierarchically organized social groups, and personality dimensions capturing dominance, assertiveness, and confidence are found in most primate species, particularly in the great apes (Freeman & Gosling, Reference Freeman and Gosling 2010). Much like humans, primates have a variety of major personality domains, such as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness ...
Many classical inventories have assumed that dominance and leadership traits are distinct but overlap in content, and recent empirical work (Altschul & Moore, 2023a) suggest that many scales labeled “dominance,” “leadership,” or “assertiveness” all measure the same thing. The opposite of dominance is “submissiveness,” which represents the opposite pole on the Interpersonal ...
Jan 10, 2022 · Signals of dominance provide information about dominance rank (e.g. dominant ant queens have cuticular hydrocarbons that provide information about rank and influence queen/worker interactions ). Signals of individual identity are unique phenotypes that receivers learn and associate with individual-specific information about the sender like dominance rank.
Oct 14, 2024 · Here, we examine the promises and pitfalls of this trend by describing how investigations of rodent fear, aggression and dominance behaviours are changing to take advantage of an ethological ...
Sep 7, 2015 · Linear dominance hierarchies, which are common in social animals, can profoundly influence access to limited resources, reproductive opportunities and health. In spite of their importance, the mechanisms that govern the dynamics of such hierarchies remain unclear. Two hypotheses explain how linear hierarchies might emerge and change over time.

Jan 10, 2022 · An older tradition in the measurement of dominance inspired by primate ethology uses purely relational measures (such as the direction of unreciprocated agonistic behaviours) to measure dominance as an emergent phenomenon specific to a group, which is closer to the theoretical foundations of dominance as a concept.

Jan 8, 2024 · Dominance traits are seen in virtually all primate species, and these dimensions reflect how adept an individual is at ascending within a social hierarchy. Among great apes, dominance is one of the most prominent personality factors but, in humans, dominance is usually modeled as a facet of extraversion.
