The concept of the linear dominance hierarchy and a much less precise notion of a central/peripheral ordering of individuals have been prominent among the ideas about social organization of monkey groups. Although the latter has seldom been quantified, the ranks of individuals in the two orders are usually assumed to be correlated. This paper reports on a longitudinal study of a free-ranging group of rhesus monkeys. The individual histories of progression of dominance rank and an independently determined measure of centrality in the social grooming network are compared among a set of males. Centrality is not a static correlate of dominance rank as implied by the findings of short-term studies. Rather, centrality is a more sensitive indicator of status than is dominance rank, to which it is related in a dynamic fashion. Small changes in dominance rank may be followed by large changes in centrality. An increase in centrality may facilitate rise in dominance rank. These findings suggest a complex psychology of status, rather than a simple causative relation between the two variables.
线性优势等级制度的概念以及关于个体中心/边缘排序的一个不太精确的概念，在有关猕猴群体社会组织的观念中一直很突出。尽管后者很少被量化，但通常认为这两种排序中个体的等级是相关的。本文报告了一项对一群自由放养的恒河猴的纵向研究。在一组雄性个体中，比较了优势等级进展的个体历史以及社交梳理网络中一个独立确定的中心性度量。正如短期研究所暗示的那样，中心性并非优势等级的静态关联因素。相反，与以动态方式相关的优势等级相比，中心性是一个更敏感的地位指标。优势等级的微小变化可能会伴随着中心性的大幅变化。中心性的增加可能有助于优势等级的提升。这些发现表明了一种复杂的地位心理，而不是这两个变量之间简单的因果关系。
