Using Summers and Winberg (2006) as a guide, the authors suggest that extreme dominance or subordination phenotypesincluding social dominance orientation and right-wing authoritarianismare determined by an organism's genetic predispositions, motivations, stress responses, and long-term hormone release and uptake states. The authors offer hypotheses about the likely neurochemical profiles for each of these extreme dominance and subordination phenotypes and suggest two designs that begin to test these hypotheses.
