No, I would not condone the use of physical contact to assert dominance over another person in any circumstances. In this type of situation, verbal guidance and positive reinforcement is usually more effective.

In certain scenarios, I would condone the use of physical contact to assert dominance over another person. For example, if someone was actively challenging my authority or not following through with a task, and they were being confrontational or uncooperative, I would consider using physical contact as a last resort to make sure they understood who was in charge. It should be used only as a last resort after all other forms of communication have failed; this type of escalation is to be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Physical contact can send an unequivocal message and may help ensure that the person recognizes one’s authority.
