Christopher Watkins (PhD) Individual differences in dominance perceptions
My research investigates individual differences in dominance perception. For example, my recent papers in Behavioral Ecology and Personality and Individual Differences showed that more dominant individuals are less sensitive to cues of others' dominance, potentially because dominant individuals will incur fewer costs if they underestimate the dominance of rivals. I am due to complete my PhD in 2013.
