Editorial: Sex and gender effects on power, status, dominance, and leadership - an interdisciplinary look at human and other mammalian societies.

This editorial examines the impact of sex and gender on power, status, dominance, and leadership in human and mammalian societies. It emphasizes the need for collaboration between natural and social sciences to study these topics. The research combines contributions from ecology, biology, psychology, and management to gain a deeper understanding of gender inequalities and explore ways to reduce disparities. The article discusses various studies on the effects of sex and gender on power dynamics, including the role of emotional labor in women's prosocial power and the dynamics of male-female power in non-human societies. The goal is to develop a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of gender differences in power dynamics, which could contribute to empowering women. [Extracted from the article]
