Abstract

ABSTRACT Outgroup dehumanisation, the denial of full humanity to outgroups relative to ingroups, is pervasive in many contemporary societies. The aim of the present work is to review effective strategies aimed at fostering outgroup humanity attribution. After presenting the main models of humanity attribution, we differentiate two types of strategies. Outgroup-specific strategies are focused on a target outgroup, therefore their effectiveness is more dependent upon the specific intergroup relationship. These include intergroup contact, meta-humanisation, and social categorisation. Outgroup-independent strategies are not inherently linked to a target outgroup, implying that their effectiveness is less dependent on the specific intergroup dynamics under consideration. These involve human-animal similarity and secure relationship attachment. We provide evidence for the effectiveness of these strategies and their underlying processes, showcasing our research programme within the larger literature. In so doing, we take into account the distinction between blatant and subtle dehumanisation, and conclude with suggestions for future research.

促进人性向外群体归因的策略

群体外的非人化，即相对于内部群体，对外部群体的全人性的否定，在许多当代社会中普遍存在。本工作的目的是审查旨在促进群体外人性归因的有效策略。在介绍了人性归因的主要模型之后，我们区分了两种类型的策略。特定于外部群体的策略专注于目标外部群体，因此其有效性更多地取决于特定的群体间关系。其中包括群体间接触、元人性化和社会分类。独立于外部群体的策略与目标外部群体没有内在的联系，这意味着它们的有效性较少依赖于所考虑的特定群体间动态。这涉及到人与动物的相似性和安全关系依恋。我们为这些策略及其潜在过程的有效性提供了证据，在更大的文献中展示了我们的研究计划。在这样做的时候，我们考虑到了公然和微妙的非人化之间的区别，并为未来的研究提出了建议。

期刊介绍： ACS Central Science publishes significant primary reports on research in chemistry and allied fields where chemical approaches are pivotal. As the first fully open-access journal by the American Chemical Society, it covers compelling and important contributions to the broad chemistry and scientific community. "Central science," a term popularized nearly 40 years ago, emphasizes chemistry's central role in connecting physical and life sciences, and fundamental sciences with applied disciplines like medicine and engineering. The journal focuses on exceptional quality articles, addressing advances in fundamental chemistry and interdisciplinary research.
