Abstract:
Dehumanization is a process whereby people fail to view others as human beings. Instead, the others are perceived as nonhuman animals or objects, unworthy of the same moral treatment. Dehumanization has previously been studied in a variety of different scholarly domains without adhering to a uniform theoretical framework. This literature review contrasts research on fully humanized perception, with research on dehumanized perception, and proposes neural areas which are likely to be involved. Not every aspect of dehumanization can be understood at the neurological level. To understand what fact

Abstract:
Social science scholars mainly regard dehumanization as a phenomenon of conflict and war. Concurrently, dehumanizing attitudes and behavior in democratic, non-conflict settings is a significant field within social psychology. Given the rise of right-wing populism and populist rhetoric, there is reason to believe that dehumanization has nestled its way into political discourse. With this background, the current study has investigated whether dehumanizing attitudes allegedly held by citizens are also expressed in their political arguments. Dehumanization can lead to support for aggression, discr

Abstract:
Haslam and colleagues proposed, in addition to an animalistic, a mechanistic form of dehumanization (the outgroup is assimilated to a robot). The aim of the first two studies was to test Haslam’s (2006) model considering the intergroup relation between Italians and the English. In a pre-test we found that Italian participants did not differentiate the ingroup and the outgroup for the uniquely human traits; conversely, they attributed the typical traits of human nature to Italians and not to the English. Thus, we hypothesized that the English were dehumanized in a mechanistic way. In order to t

We have examined both the cognitive consequence of the objectification of the self on woman’s self-perception and the possible motivations that lead women to consider sexually objectified female targets as not fully human beings.

While it's clear that the objectification of women is a prominent feature of Western society, it is far less clear what it actually means to be objectified. Philosophers, feminist scholars and psychologist agree that objectification involves a denial of humanity, however, the nature of this dehumanization has yet to be explained. Although existing research provides evidence that objectified women are associated both with objects and animals, no research has examined the conditions under which women are likely to be dehumanized by one form or another.

Although much attention has been paid to the consequences of objectification, relatively little research has focused on the question of why women are objectified. From a terror management theory perspective, the association of women with (literal) objects strips them of the qualities that are threatening (on account of mortality concerns). Sexualization, however, underscores women’s animal nature, and this association is problematic in the management of existential anxiety.

Abstract:
Why do ordinary individuals participate in mass violence perpetrated against civilians? That is the question I will attempt to answer in the following paper. I consider these men ordinary to the extent that the majority was not socially deviant. Looking at the case of Nazi Germany, two groups stand out as good case studies: the SS Einsatzgruppen and the SS cadres in the Death camps. The following analysis will focus on the motivations of these men to commit mass murder. I argue for a causal sequence of action, beginning with the onset of Nazi ideology, further followed by the dehumanization of

In my thesis, I explore how advanced robotic technologies affect human society and my particular concern centers on investigating the boundaries between actual humans and artificial beings. Taking Steven Spielberg’s film Artificial Intelligence (2001) and Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (1968) as my primary sources, I illustrate how humans are experiencing dehumanization whereas artificial beings are acting much more like humans by analyzing the main characters and events that depicted in both sources.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research paper is to examine how Syrian refugees are visually represented in two of the largest newspapers in Sweden: Dagens Nyheter (Today’s news) and Svenska Dagbladet (The Swedish daily paper). Their choice of images on the Syrian refugee crisis will be analysed, to see what sort of message they send by using those specific images. The reason for this study is because previous studies have implied that the media has an important role in crafting national perceptions of refugees. Therefore, it is intriguing to analyse the images the newspapers published during the fall of

Abstract:
Dehumanization has been the target of many theoretical interpretations (see e.g., Bandura, 1999; Bar-Tal, 1989; Opotow, 1989; Struch, & Schwartz, 1989), however, only in recent years, Social Psychology empirically investigated these phenomena (see, e.g., Goff, Eberhardt, Williams, & Jackson, 2008; Haslam, 2006; Leyens, Demoulin, Vaes, Gaunt, & Paladino, 2007). Considering different concepts and theorization of humanity, such as secondary emotions vs. primary emotions (Leyens, Demoulin, Vaes, Gaunt, & Paladino, 2007), uniquely human vs. non-uniquely human traits (Capozza, Trifiletti, Vezzali, &

Cette thèse investigue les processus psychosociaux qui sous-tendent la disqualification de la déviance, en testant la transposition de processus connus dans les relations intergroupes (essentialisation et déshumanisation) aux rapports interpersonnels. Deux déviances sont étudiées : ne pas vouloir d‟enfant (étude 1 : N = 322 ; &amp; 2 : N = 245) et exercer un métier incongru avec son genre (étude 3 : N = 247). L‟adhésion au stéréotype, l'essentialisation et la déshumanisation ont été mesurés par questionnaires. Nous constatons une large disqualification des personnes ne souhaitant pas d‟enfant,

Abstract:
Ethnic discrimination has deep roots in Rwanda. For many dozens of years, Tutsis have been marked down as those whose task it is to rule the country and Hutus have been treated as those who have to submit to it. As time moved on, Hutu hatred had been growing steadily and resulted in coup d'état in 1959 and consequent persecutions of Tutsis. However, hidden grudge lingered on. The pretext for its revival was the RPF incursion into the country at the beginning of nineties. The invasion also became one of the major preconditions of the fastest genocide in history.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectification most literally refers to perceiving a person as an object. Research shows that when people focus on a woman's appearance, compared to her personality, she is perceived of as more of an object (e.g., lower in human nature traits). These objectification effects, however, rarely occur for male targets. Moreover, humans, unlike objects, are typically believed to have a soul, that is, some part of the self that outlasts the death of the physical body and extends into a post-mortem existence (e.g., Heaven). In turn, I hypothesized that women, but not men, would be perceived

Sebbene diversi autori (ad esempio, Douglas, 1966; Savage, 2007; Sontag, 2002) abbiano teoricamente approfondito il concetto di biologizzazione (cioè, la percezione degli altri attraverso metafore che richiamano la sfera della malattia e del contagio), la ricerca empirica su questo argomento risulta ancora carente. Partendo dalla letteratura teorica riguardante tale costrutto, con il presente progetto ci si è posti l’obiettivo di fornirne una prima evidenza sperimentale e di espandere la conoscenza relativa ai suoi antecedenti e alle sue conseguenze in due differenti contesti: nelle relazioni

Abstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est de vérifier si la perception d’humanité d’une cible varie en fonction des valeurs culturelles qu’elle exprime. En France, les valeurs dominantes correspondent, d’après un ensemble d’études de psychologie interculturelle, à des valeurs individualistes. En s’appuyant sur ces données, plusieurs études ont été mises en œuvre pour comparer les attributions d’humanité à une cible qui exprime soit des valeurs individualistes, soit des valeurs collectivistes. D’après l’hypothèse ethnocentrique, l’expression de valeurs collectivistes devrait susciter moins d’attributions d
