  1. 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 ...

  2. humans (Boehm 1993, 1999). For example, one type of coalition--the large leveling coalition (defined theoretically as one that reduces rank-associated inequality without changing the rank order; Van Schaik et. al. 2006; Preuschoft & Van Schaik 2000), may have been especially important in human evolution (Boehm 1993, 1999).

  3. In research with non-human primates, for example, dominance behavior is typically described in the context of a dyadic interaction in which one member of the dyad expresses aggressive behavior or gestures that signal aggression, and the other responds with submissive behavior (Bernstein, 1980; Dunbar, 1988).

  4. Sep 1, 2023 · This is important because dominance often serves groups (e.g., Anderson & Kilduff, 2009; Guinote & Chen, 2018) and a sense of meaning in life seems to be an existential reinforcement for the behavior that dominant individuals are likely to display. The contribution of this research is mainly the emphasis on dominance as a socially functional variable (without denying dysfunctional forms of ...

  5. 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. In this review, we ...

  8. Jan 1, 2021 · Dominance in humans is much more complex than the primate cases described above and is the product not only of direct physical contests between individuals (‘physical dominance’) but of variables such as prestige, group membership (e.g., based on gender or ethnicity), and situation within large-scale “formal hierarchies” such as socioeconomic status.
