Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectification occurs when people are seen and treated similarly to things. Research on this topic has been dominated by an interest in the content of impressions people form of targets, but much less is known about the processes involved in the objectification of others. To fill this gap, this paper reviews a recent line of research that investigates the cognitive objectification of others (i.e., the processes – early visual processing, attention and memory – through which a person is no longer perceived as a global physical entity, thereby reduced to its parts akin to objects). We consider research that examined when and why this cognitive objectification occurs using methods borrowed from cognitive psychology and neuroscience. In doing so, we provide information for the sequential ordering of cognitive objectification processes that may occur during person perception. We finally propose a novel process-oriented model aimed at understanding the antecedents and outcomes of cognitive objectification.

客观化:人们在什么时候以及为什么在认知上被还原为与物体相似的部分

当人们被看作和对待事物相似时，就会产生客观性。对这一主题的研究主要是对人们对目标印象的内容感兴趣，但对他人物化过程知之甚少。为了填补这一空白，本文回顾了最近的一项研究，该研究调查了他人的认知客体化（即早期视觉处理、注意力和记忆过程，通过这些过程，一个人不再被视为一个全局物理实体，从而被简化为类似于物体的部分）。我们考虑了一些研究，这些研究使用了从认知心理学和神经科学中借来的方法来检验这种认知客体化何时以及为什么会发生。在这样做的过程中，我们为在人的感知过程中可能发生的认知客体化过程的顺序顺序提供了信息。最后，我们提出了一个新的过程导向模型，旨在理解认知客体化的前因和结果。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
