No convincing evidence outgroups are denied uniquely human characteristics: Distinguishing intergroup preference from trait-based dehumanization

Florence E. Enock et al.

Summary: Studies show that individuals are more likely to attribute positive human traits to ingroup members, while attributing negative human traits more strongly to outgroup members. This pattern holds across different intergroup contexts and challenges the value of a trait-based account of representing others as 'less human' in intergroup bias research.

Justin W. Martin et al.

Summary: This study examined the mechanisms by which essentialism influences moral judgment, finding that participants were more likely to punish individuals described as having a criminal essence.

Gender Categories as Dual-Character Concepts?

Cai Guo et al.

Summary: The study examined the relationship between dual-character concepts and gender concepts, finding that on some measures gender concepts did resemble dual-character concepts, while on other measures they did not, indicating that people may not disqualify individuals from being truly a man or truly a woman in certain contexts of violating traditional gender norms. Further research explored the potential replacement of gender role norms by moral norms for the abstract dimension.

Seven Challenges for the Dehumanization Hypothesis

Harriet Over

Summary: The author challenges the dehumanization hypothesis by arguing that out-group members are not treated as nonhuman entities even in extreme cases, and they are attributed some human qualities. Additionally, the author questions the causal connection between being viewed as less than human and being at risk of harm, suggesting that some nonhuman organisms are treated well and some groups are harmed due to their uniquely human qualities.
