Individual differences versus social dynamics in the formation of animal dominance hierarchies.
Linear hierarchies, the classical pecking-order structures, are formed readily in both nature and the laboratory in a great range of species including humans. However, the probability of getting linear structures by chance alone is quite low. In this paper we investigate the two hypotheses that are proposed most often to explain linear hierarchies: they are predetermined by differences in the a...
متن کاملCooperation versus Dominance Hierarchies in Animal Groups
While some communities of animals living in groups may develop systems of cooperation or mutual altruism, many other animal societies are characterised by dominance hierarchies. This thesis is concerned with describing the development of cooperation and dominance hierarchies amongst animal groups. By using a game-theoretic framework, I develop and investigate simple models to describe social in...
متن کاملthe effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions
two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...
15 صفحه اولThe Fragility of Individual-Based Explanations of Social Hierarchies: A Test Using Animal Pecking Orders
The standard approach in accounting for hierarchical differentiation in biology and the social sciences considers a hierarchy as a static distribution of individuals possessing differing amounts of some valued commodity, assumes that the hierarchy is generated by micro-level processes involving individuals, and attempts to reverse engineer the processes that produced the hierarchy. However, suf...
متن کاملIndividual recognition, dominance hierarchies and winner and loser effects.
Winner and loser effects are defined as an increased probability of winning an aggressive interaction at time T, based on victories at time T-1, T-2, etc., and an increased probability of losing at time T, based on losses at time T-1, T-2, etc., respectively. Prior theoretical work on dominance hierarchy formation has demonstrated that when players are not capable of individual recognition, los...
