The uniquely human content of stereotypes (2010, background): “Finally, based on previous work that tested the link between stereotype content and different types of humanness (Haslam et al., 2008; Loughnan & Haslam, 2007), the uniquely human dimension has more affinity with the competence than with the warmth dimension of the SCM.”
Uncertain Self in a Changing World: A Foundation for Radicalisation, Populism, and Autocratic Leadership (2020, background): “…be added marked ethnocentrism (Brewer & Campbell, 1976), accentuated mistrust and fear of outsiders (Stephan, 2014), a view of normative group attributes as fixed underlying essences (essentialism – Haslam et al., 2006) and the potential to dehumanise outgroups (Haslam, 2006; Haslam et al., 2008).”
Dehumanization and social class: Animality in the stereotypes of “white trash,” “chavs,” and “bogans”. (2014, background): “Given that prior work has shown that ethnicity, sex, and age are all associated with judgments of humanness (for reviews see Haslam, 2006; Haslam et al., 2008), future work should explore whether these subsequent categorizations serve to moderate the low-SES–animal association.”
To Err is Human(-like): Effects of Robot Gesture on Perceived Anthropomorphism and Likability (2013, methodology): “Our theory-driven approach is characterized by the application of social psychological theories of (de-) humanization [9, 14] to HRI.”

Mind Perception Is the Essence of Morality (2012, background): “People also engage in dehumanization—denying mental states to other—to justify acts of aggression or discrimination (Bandura, Barbaranelli, Caprara, & Pastorelli, 1996; Cikara, Eberhardt, & Fiske, 2010; Harris & Fiske, 2006; Haslam et al., 2008; Leyens et al., 2000).”
Reducing Competitive Victimhood in Kosovo: The Role of Extended Contact and Common Ingroup Identity (2012, background): “Furthermore, it is an important means of reinforcing boundaries between the ingroup and the outgroup (see Haslam et al., 2008 and Leyens et al., 2007, for a review; see also Capozza, Boccato, Andrighetto, & Falvo, 2009).”
Power increases dehumanization (2011, background): “Here, dehumanized people are seen as insensitive to pain (Haslam, 2006; Haslam, Bain, Lee, Douge, & Bastian, 2005; Haslam, Loughnan, Kashima, & Bain, 2008).”
Would You Trust a (Faulty) Robot? Effects of Error, Task Type and Personality on Human-Robot Cooperation and Trust (2015, background): “Human Nature (HN) Scale [12]: We further measured the level to which the participants attributed humanlike traits to the robot on the basis of the following items: curious, friendly, funloving, sociable, trusting, aggressive, distractible, impatient, jealous and nervous (α=0.71).”
