Abstract

Four studies examine the social cognitive mechanisms through which sacred values produce social schisms, focusing on the role of metadehumanization. Using hypothetical scenarios, Studies 1 and 2 demonstrate that violators of sacred values feel dehumanized by value holders and reciprocate this dehumanization. Using real sacred values, Studies 3 and 4 show similar effects. Study 3 further controls for the effects of mere disagreement and finds participants felt more dehumanized when family members disagreed with them in discussions of sacred values compared to preferences. Study 4 examined the sacralization of mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding that the inflammatory effect of sacralization on hostility was in part explained by metadehumanization, leading to greater reciprocal dehumanization, thus fueling conflict. In conclusion, results suggest metadehumanization may underlie the often explosive nature of sacred conflict.

元人性化在解释神圣冲突中的作用

四项研究考察了神圣价值观产生社会分裂的社会认知机制，重点关注了元去人性化的作用。研究1和研究2使用假设的场景表明，违背神圣价值观的人感到被价值观持有者非人化，并对这种非人化进行回报。使用真实的神圣值，研究3和4显示了类似的效果。研究3进一步控制了单纯的意见分歧的影响，发现当家庭成员在讨论神圣的价值观时与他们的偏好不一致时，参与者感到更不人道。研究4考察了COVID-19大流行期间戴口罩的神圣化，发现神圣化对敌意的炎症作用部分可以用超非人性化来解释，导致更大的相互非人性化，从而加剧冲突。总之，研究结果表明，“后人性化”可能是神圣冲突往往具有爆炸性的原因。
