Mostly invigorated by infrahumanisation theory, our knowledge on processes of dehumanisation in intergroup relations has grown considerably in the last decade. Building on these earlier endeavours, the present chapter reviews some recent empirical extensions that highlight the importance of differentiating between ingroup humanisation and outgroup...

The study of humanness as a dimension of social judgment has received extensive attention over the past decade. While the common reported finding is that people attribute more human characteristics to their ingroup than to the outgroup, similar tendencies are expected to be tempered for minority groups when judging the host society. In Study 1, car...

On the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the overcrowding in prisons led to efforts to decarcerate in order to prevent and control outbreaks in prisons. This study analyses how public support for such exceptional measures are determined by cognitive and ideological factors known to create and maintain racial biases in the criminal system.

This article positions dehumanization within a broader framework of social inequality and specifically of human rights (HR) violations. We first introduce the link between the denial of HR and dehumanization. We then focus on the bidirectionality between HR violation and dehumanization considering dehumanization both as an antecedent and a conseque...

We proposed and found that, SDO increased individuals' motivation to get involved in actions favoring the ingroup, by boosting their motivation to compete with the opposing high-status outgroup, consistent with an ideological strategy to guarantee the legitimacy of future ingroup status-enhancement.

Vaccines are essential for the eradication of diseases. Yet for many reasons, individuals do not embrace them completely. In the COVID-19 pandemic and with the possibility of the Brazilian population’s immunization against the disease, both political and health-related dimensions might have had a role in individual COVID-19 vaccination acceptance....

The existence of crime-related racial stereotypes has been well documented. People tend to associate certain groups with specific crimes, which, in turn, impacts criminal-sentencing decisions through the perceptions of crime severity. This evidence calls for regular updating of rating norms combining these variables. With this objective, and given...

Apresentação dos resultados preliminares do estudo qualitativo de doutoramento acerca das dinâmicas de casal durante a pandemia covid-19 em profissionais de saúde e profissionais em teletrabalho.

We propose that low-status group members' support for group-based hierarchy and inequality (i.e., social dominance orientation; SDO) may represent an ideological strategy to guarantee the legitimacy of future ingroup status-enhancement. Specifically, we argue that, under unstable social structure conditions, SDO serves as an ideological justificati...

These socially critical decisions (scd) constitute the core of this chapter. Its main goal is to describe the literature on these...

Belief in a Just World research found evidence that one feels threatened whenever one witnesses an innocent victim suffering, often resorting to secondary victimization to neutralize the observed injustice. However, literature has neglected the explanatory power of adolescent deviant behavior in victimization processes. This study (n = 284 students...
