<p>Navigating status hierarchies depends on the coordination of traits, abilities, tactics, and strategies. Various components of the nomological net of hierarchy navigation have been examined in relative isolation, with mixed findings. In the current study (<i>N</i> = 1,042), we examined interconnections between key aspects of hierarchy navigation psychology using network analytic methods. We found evidence of functional coordination between aspects of embodied capital, tactics, and strategies. We also found sex differences in specific links between components of hierarchy navigation that follow theoretical expectations. Finally, we found robust interconnections between broad personality traits and hierarchy navigation tactics, replicating previous research. These findings help refine the nomological network of hierarchy navigation and provide a foundation for future research to investigate whether and how its structure changes across cultures and contexts.</p>
