Domination in the psychology context refers to a behaviour or personality trait characterised by exerting control, power, or influence over others. This can manifest in relationships, social interactions, or organisational settings and is often driven by a need for authority, superiority, or control. Domination may be expressed through assertiveness, but at its extreme, it can become manipulative, coercive, or abusive.
