✦ Synopsis

A large number of studies have been published that investigate ultimate and proximate variables that are related to social dominance. In this symposium, we will review past studies that have been performed, and update those findings with current research, concluding with a discussion of the current studies, as well as the future studies that need to be performed. Dr. Irwin Bernstein will present research that is the basis of much research that is performed today. He will outline the conceptual and methodological difficulties that have encumbered the field of primatology. He will be followed by Dr. Bernard Chapais who will present research investigating the proximate factors underlying matrilineal rank in macaques. Dr. Lynn Fairbanks will present data showing that while dominance in vervets generally follow the rules identified for macaques, this system seems to break down when the matriarch is lost, either through natural death or experimental removal. As with Dr. Chapais' research, her data show that for males, the acquisition and maintenance of social dominance is a product of competent social behaviors, and not simply a result of aggressiveness. Dr J. Dee Higley will conclude the presentations with recent research showing that in the absence of a matriline, early rearing experiences affect the acquisition of social dominance, with impoverished rearing experiences such as surrogate-peer-rearing producing long lasting low social dominance rank. Dr.
