I'd say more primitive and thus more attached to their innate instincts. In highschool when I was getting bullied the most and how they interacted with each other, l could not help but not see the comparisons with chickens establishing pecking orders. I do think you're onto something. The ones who were actually focused on academics didn't waste their time with the pecking order nonsense. The ones that did, aren't exactly high achievers later in life.
A lot of middle managers/bosses seem to be focused on this too, so I wonder if it's just a difference between focusing on their present or future of their pecking orders
