    • CONCLUSION

    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 first ...

    Although we have every reason to suspect that the evolutionary processes and incentives identified by the logic of the models described above will apply to humans, identifying and studying dominance in our species poses particular challenges due to the influence of both cultural evolution and culture-gene coevolution. Below, we consider three key f...

    The evidence reviewed above indicates that dominance continues to be a viable route to rank acquisition, impacting both social influence and fitness in humans across a wide range of contexts, and plays a role in human status asymmetries from the youngest of ages. However, the human-specific complications presented in this review cannot be overlooke...

    Convergent evidence from multiple disciplines and from studies across ages, sexes, and cultures, show that agonistic and aggressive forms of rank-pursuit involving the deployment of cost-infliction or benefit-withholding strategies continues to be a viable route to social status in humans. Norm-governed coalitionary behaviors and human-specific eco...

Dominance based status is also conceptually separable from power and aggression 22.

  4. Jan 10, 2022 · Because dominance produces status or influence over others' actions that is achieved against anothers' preferences, survey measures that tap the colloquial understanding of ‘social influence’ or ‘status' or that rely on the definition of status in social psychology (which involves gaining deference through changing another's preferences; ) may fail to capture the full impact of dominance.

  5.
