Dominance hierarchy in a nutshell: why, how, dangers and solutions

Original language description

Life in societies has evolved as a response of organisms to environmental conditions.Dominance hierarchy forms an inner structure of a society which allowssociety members to stay together without repeated fighting. Access to resourcesis provided by hierarchical status. In the absence of resources, the lowest rankingindividuals are the most at risk. Certain patterns of dominance hierarchy persistin modern people in Euro-American societies. Moreover, special patterns haveoccurred, such as parallel membership in various subgroups, voluntary accessto some of the subgroups, reverse hierarchy, and tendencies towards equality.In spite of these changes, hierarchy still influences the life of an individual. Theprobability of survival, reproduction, communication and transfer of informationmay serve as examples. Both high hierarchical disparity and isolation cause stressand health problems. Feelings of guilt, fear, and stress can be used as markersof a harmful disparity. Warning signs include the lack of supportive interpersonalrelationships, prestige, social norms, and cultural products that could mitigate thehierarchical difference.In this review, we address the principles and functioning of dominance hierarchy,describe the structure of hierarchy in modern societies, and explain how therank of the individual is determined and shapes the life of a person. We brieflysummarize the basic patterns of dominant and submissive behaviour. The rankof the individual is predictable and so is the behaviour connected to his/her rank.This allows us to predict where particular aid and attention are required.
