  1. Jan 10, 2022 · Many social groups have linear or near-linear dominance hierarchies. However, hierarchies need not always be linear [2, 7]. Nonlinear hierarchies with dominance reversals and intransitivities can also occur [8]. Much research on dominance relationships focuses on the initial establishment of hierarchies.

  2. Social groups across species rapidly self-organize into hierarchies, where members vary in their level of power, influence, skill, or dominance. In this review we explore the nature of social hierarchies and the traits associated with status in both humans and nonhuman primates, and how status varies across development in humans.

  3. Jan 6, 2011 · Taken together, the dominance relationships in all pairs in a group constitute the dominance hierarchy. These hierarchies are often linear in form. In a linear hierarchy, one animal dominates all the others, a second dominates all but the top one, and so on down to the last animal that is dominated by all the others.

  5. Apr 16, 2002 · In this paper we investigate the two hypotheses that are proposed most often to explain linear hierarchies: they are predetermined by differences in the attributes of animals, or they are produced by the dynamics of social interaction, i.e., they are self-organizing.

  6. when and why dominance hierarchies emerge from social interaction in group-living species. The evolutionarily stable behavioral strategies find their counterparts in a suite of psychological adaptations--a “dominance psychology”--that should be observable in both dominants and subordinates.

  8. Jan 10, 2022 · Schjelderup-Ebbe hypothesized that dominance hierarchies serve to regulate conflict among group-members. A corollary to this hypothesis is that social instability—i.e. changes to a social group's dominance hierarchy—leads to increased conflict and its associated costs.
