Overview
[edit | edit source]Social dominance and power motivation are 2 concepts in psychology that help explain human behaviour, in particularly the hierarchy of group dynamics and leadership. The social dominance theory is a theory in which individuals or groups such as ethnic, religious national and or racial attain power over other individuals or groups and indulging in special privileges creating a power disadvantage to the other individual or group that has little political power or ease in life( Pratto, F,. & Stewart, A. 2011). The social dominance theory was developed in the 1990’s by Jim Sidanius and Felicia Pratto, their focus was on the prediction of societal oppression, discrimination and brutality and tyranny. Power motivation is the desire to impact, influence and hold power on other people and their behaviour and or emotions. (Roccato, M. 2014). While power motivations is a broad concept it contains overlapping concepts such as influence, inspiration, authority leadership, control and coercion. These concepts are often associated with maintaining and reinforcing social hierarchies (winter, D, G & Smith, C, P, 2009) . This chapter will discuss the correlation between social dominance and power motivations the the influence they have in today's society.
