Ingroup's status and implicit attributions of humanity
Full text linkIn five studies, the effects of ingroup’s status on the automatic evaluations of humanity was explored. The Go/No-go association task was used. In Studies 1 and 2, the relation between Northern Italians (higher status group) and Southern Italians (lower status group) was examined. In Study 3, it was manipulated the status of the Italian ingroup and the American outgroup: in two conditions, either attributes of Italian superiority or attributes of American superiority were made salient. In Study 4, the status of minimal groups was manipulated. In Study 5, results of previous studies were replied, using different stimuli. In all the studies, the higher status ingroup was more associated with humanity than the lower status outgroup, that was even dehumanized. In contrast, a privileged human status was not accorded to ingroup in the lower status condition. The effects of infrahumanization and dehumanization seem to be moderated by ingroup’s status

Feeling like an object: A field study on working self-objectification and belief in personal free will
No full textThe present research aims to take a deeper look at the relationship between working self-objectification and belief in personal free will. Previous research found that working self-objectification, due to the perception of being objectified or the execution of objectifying tasks, negatively affects belief in personal free will. However, these findings have been mainly tested through laboratory studies considering undergraduates. In this work we aim to verify whether this pattern also emerges when considering workers. We conducted a field study involving employees in the production lines of different companies. They completed a questionnaire on objectifying job features, perception of being objectified by superiors, self-objectification self-perception as instrument-like and self-attribution of human mental states and belief in personal free will. As expected, objectifying job features and perceptions of being objectified were positively related to self-objectification that, in turn, was associated with decreased beliefs in personal free wil
