Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • The dominance behavioural system (DBS) is complex and linked to various psychopathologies.
  • Existing measures do not capture the full spectrum of DBS dimensions.
  • A unified understanding of DBS across different mental health conditions is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the multifaceted nature of the DBS.
  • To assess the relevance of multiple DBS dimensions across different psychopathologies.
  • To identify distinct DBS profiles associated with depression, anxiety, and manic symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 612 undergraduates completed a comprehensive set of dominance-related items.
  • Participants also reported on lifetime history of depression, anxiety, and manic symptoms.
  • Factor analysis was employed to identify core dimensions of the DBS.

Main Results:

  • Six distinct DBS factors were identified: Authentic Pride, Hubristic Pride, Cooperation, Power/Influence, Discomfort with Leadership, and Ruthless Ambition.
  • Depressive and anxious symptoms were associated with lower authentic pride, lower perceived power, and higher endorsement of hubris.
  • Hypomanic tendencies correlated with heightened pride and a greater willingness to pursue power at interpersonal cost.

Conclusions:

  • The DBS is a multi-dimensional construct relevant to understanding diverse psychopathologies.
  • Specific dimensions of the DBS, including pride and power-seeking strategies, are crucial for understanding psychopathology.
  • This transdiagnostic study highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to the DBS in mental health research.
