One recent psychology paper on human dominance is:
Tiedens, L. Z., Unzueta, M. M., & Young, M. J. (2007). The desire for hierarchy?: The motivated perception of dominance complementarity in task partners. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 93, 402-414. pdf
Hopefully the citation trail from there will lead you to more relevant work.
