When Closing the Human–Animal Divide Expands Moral Concern (2012, methodology): “As recently demonstrated by Costello and Hodson (2010), viewing animals as more human-like lessens the derogative value of animalistic outgroup dehumanization and increases favorable outgroup attitudes.”
Social dominance orientation connects prejudicial human–human and human–animal relations (2014, background): “Supporting this view, SDO predicts greater beliefs that humans are distinct from and superior to animals (Costello & Hodson, 2010), and predicts greater acceptance of animal exploitation and more meat consumption (e.g., Allen et al., 2000; Dhont & Hodson, under review; Hyers, 2006).”
How Dehumanization Influences Attitudes toward Immigrants (2018, background): “Existing empirical work on dehumanization demonstrates that dehumanization decreases empathy (Andrighetto et al. 2014; Stevenson et al. 2014) towards dehumanized groups, and humanization increases empathy towards humanized groups (Costello and Hodson 2010).”
Common Ideological Roots of Speciesism and Generalized Ethnic Prejudice: The Social Dominance Human–Animal Relations Model (SD–HARM) (2016, background): “More specifically, those higher in SDO perceive a greater hierarchical divide between humans and animals (Costello & Hodson, 2010, 2014a) and hold greater human supremacy beliefs over animals (Dhont & Hodson, 2014).”
Dehumanization and infrahumanization. (2014, background): “Costello & Hodson (2010) examined a related belief that is associated with the propensity to dehumanize others.”
The person-based nature of prejudice: Individual difference predictors of intergroup negativity (2015, background): “A series of studies (Costello & Hodson, 2010, 2014; see Hodson, MacInnis, & Costello, 2014) demonstrates that individual differences in perceiving a greater hierarchical divide between humans and non-human animals is associated with anti-immigrant prejudice (see our Table 2), through the…”
Social Dominance Theory: Explorations in the Psychology of Oppression (2016, unknown): “Bikman & Sunar, 2013 Bobbio, Canova, & Manganelli, 2010 Choma, Hanoch, Gummerum, & Hodson, 2013 Christopher, Zabel, Jones, & Marek, 2008 Costello & Hodson, 2009 Cotterill, Sidanius, Bhardwaj, & Kumar, 2014 Crawford, 2012 De Cremer, Cornelis, & Van Hiel, 2008 Esses & Hodson, 2006 Federico, Hunt, &…”
An experimental approach to Intergroup Threat Theory: Manipulations, moderators, and consequences of realistic vs. symbolic threat (2018, unknown): “By contrast, reading an editorial about animals’ similarities to humans, and hence thinking of animals in more human-like terms, reducedCanadian participants’ perceptions of symbolic threat from immigrants (Costello & Hodson, 2010).”
Why do right-wing adherents engage in more animal exploitation and meat consumption? (2014, background): “Only recently have researchers considered how dominanceideologies against human outgroups share commonalities with human-animal relations and exploitation (e.g., Costello & Hodson, 2010, in press; Hodson & Costello, 2012; Jackson, 2011; Plous, 2003).”
