  • Jan 31, 2020
I find the Trait Arousability, Trait Pleasure-Displeasure and Trait Dominance-Submissiveness by Prof. Albert Mehrabian to be useful for my research work, but I cannot find the questionnaire anywhere, and Prof. Mehrabian is also not distributing the questionnaires anymore as per his website http://kaaj.com/psych/scales/ (I also emailed him, but he denied sharing).
So, if you know the place I can get these scales, or you have a copy of these scales, please share with me.
Any clue or resource will be very helpful for me.
Regards,
Punit

Is there a known distribution of dominance among human beings?
Question

  • Jan 19, 2018
Hi all,
does anyone know if there are studies saying anything about how dominance (as a feature of personality) is distributed among people? I would like to know, for example, if there are more people with high dominance than people with low dominance. (another feature I am interested in is resilience).
Many thanks in advance!
Christian

Answer
Dominance and submission also have central roles in interpersonal theories, starting with the work of Timothy Leary and culminating for example in the excellent work of Lorna Benjamin. Looking at some of the circumplex models in addition to the factor models might bring out additional components ... there are certainly ways that dominance is not personal, but only interpersonal.

Answer
Clearly you need to do some behavior observation. This paper looks specifically at using dominant & subordinate behaviors & chimp relationships to examine hierarchies.
Newton-Fisher. 2004. Hierarchy and social status in Budongo chimpanzees.

Newton-Fisher's paper is older and uses a traditional dominance ranking approach. the Elo-rating approach may be quicker? I haven't done this work myself.
