A Dominance Relationship is a social relationship that establishes power differential between interacting individuals (where one individual exerts control over another through dominance behavior).
- AKA: Power Relationship, Status Relationship, Dominance-Subordination Dynamic.
- Context:
- It can typically establish Dominance Pattern through dominance signal exchange and dominance response pattern.
- It can typically create Dominance Resource Control through dominance-based priority access and dominance enforcement mechanism.
- It can typically determine Dominance Social Status through dominance contest outcome and dominance interaction history.
- It can typically influence Dominance Behavioral Response through dominance submission elicitation and dominance threat display.
- It can typically maintain Dominance Stability through dominance consistent reinforcement and dominance recognition signal.
- ...
- It can often involve Dominance Physical Expression through dominance posture adoption, dominance space control, and dominance physical intimidation.
- It can often utilize Dominance Communication through dominance vocal signal, dominance facial expression, and dominance gestural display.
- It can often affect Dominance Physiological State through dominance stress hormone level and dominance neurochemical change.
- It can often shape Dominance Cognitive Processing through dominance attention allocation and dominance decision influence.
- ...
- It can range from being a Temporary Dominance Relationship to being a Persistent Dominance Relationship, depending on its dominance interaction frequency.
- It can range from being a Mild Dominance Relationship to being an Intense Dominance Relationship, depending on its dominance expression intensity.
- It can range from being a Contextual Dominance Relationship to being a Generalized Dominance Relationship, depending on its dominance context specificity.
- It can range from being a Consensual Dominance Relationship to being a Coercive Dominance Relationship, depending on its dominance agreement level.
- ...
- It can establish Dominance Interaction Pattern where the dominant individual consistently influences the behavior, resource access, and movement freedom of the subordinate individual.
- It can function as Dominance Social Structure Foundation by creating the building blocks that aggregate into broader dominance hierarchy systems within social groups.
- It can reflect Dominance Evolutionary Strategy through dominance reproductive advantage that increases fitness for the dominant individual at the expense of the subordinate individual.
- It can manifest Dominance Cultural Expression through dominance cultural norms that prescribe acceptable dominance behavior in different social contexts and cultural settings.

- Animal Dominance Relationships, such as:
- Human Dominance Relationships, such as:
- Parent-Child Dominance Relationship with dominance developmental guidance function.
- Teacher-Student Dominance Relationship with dominance knowledge transfer structure.

- Sexual Dominance Relationships, such as:
- ...
- Dominance Relationship Context Types, such as:
- Counter-Examples:
- Egalitarian Relationship, which lacks dominance power differential and operates through mutual decision making rather than dominance-subordinance pattern.
- Reciprocal Cooperation Relationship, which establishes mutual benefit rather than dominance unequal advantage and involves balanced contribution instead of dominance control dynamic.
- Temporary Association, which lacks dominance relationship persistence and dominance pattern establishment necessary for dominance relationship formation.
- Neutral Social Contact, which involves interaction without dominance and lacks dominance signal exchange or dominance behavioral response.
- Communal Sharing Relationship, which emphasizes equal resource access rather than dominance-based priority and operates on need-based distribution instead of dominance control mechanism.
