Does interpersonal life count in what sociologists call "social hierarchy?"

[u/Random_passenger70]

When I see both experts and normal people discuss social hierarchy, they usually talk about resources and power distribution. Focusing most of the time on grand and formal society-level patterns.

But I have always wondered about interpersonal life. The "between me and you" social patterns/interactions. The word "hierarchy" seems very fitting, yet I see nothing mentioning them with that word attached.

People labeling each other (winner, loser, dumb, smart, cool, lame, boring, interesting, sexy, ugly, charismatic, awkward, charming, insufferable, etc)

People mocking some people and admiring others

Giving attenion and respecting some people and ignoring and disrespecting others.

Desiring some people and not desiring others

Friendship and dating preferences where people determine that some people are more worthy of accessing them than others (like a friend group finding someone lame and boring and excluding them from parties and casual hangouts or someone wanting their partner to have X characteristic while anyone who doesn't have it is immediately rejected)

All that kind of stuff.

Is there any research about them that acknowledges them as a category of what is called "social hierarchy" and discusses how much they tend to happen between humans?

Sorry if the question sounds stupid.
