Gaming with Mr. Slot or Gaming the Slot Machine? Power, Anthropomorphism, and Risk Perception (2011, background): “…BACKGROUND Anthropomorphism Anthropomorphism refers to the tendency to attribute humanlike characteristics, intentions, and behavior to nonhuman objects (Aggarwal and McGill 2007; Epley et al. 2007; Epley, Akalis, et al. 2008; Epley, Waytz, et al. 2008; Leyens et al. 2003).”
Who Sees Human? (2010, background): “We first examined whether anthropomorphism (measured by the IDAQ) predicts the attribution of secondary emotions, a set of emotions that people commonly consider to be uniquely human (Demoulin et al., 2004; Leyens et al., 2003).”
Culture, essentialism, and agency: Are individuals universally believed to be more real entities than groups? (2005, unknown): “First of all, psychological essentialism (Leyens et al., 2000, 2001, 2003; Medin & Ortony, 1989; Rothbart & Taylor, 1992; Yzerbyt, Corneille, & Estrada, 2001; Yzerbyt, Estrada, Corneille, Seron, & Demoulin, 2004; Yzerbyt, Rocher, & Schadron, 1997) may be an aspect of perceived entitativity.”
Power increases dehumanization (2011, background): “For example, infrahumanization can already arise from relatively innocent feelings of competition or rivalry between groups (Cortes, Demoulin, Rodriguez, Rodriguez, & Leyens, 2005; Leyens et al., 2003).”
Aid in the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: Inferences of Secondary Emotions and Intergroup Helping (2007, background): “Leyens and colleagues interpret these fi ndings as evidence that infrahumanization is an intergroup, not an interpersonal, phenomenon (Leyens et al., 2003).”
Dehumanizing the Lowest of the Low (2006, background): “Outgroup dehumanization is at least as old as the U.S. Constitution 1 and as modern as current forms of dehumanization, described by out-group infrahumanization theory (Haslam, 2005; Leyens et al., 2001, 2003).”
Attributing and denying humanness to others (2008, methodology): “Our interest in humanness as a dimension of social perception was inspired by research on infrahumanisation (Leyens et al., 2000, 2001, 2003).”
WHEN WE NEED A HUMAN: MOTIVATIONAL DETERMINANTS OF ANTHROPOMORPHISM (2008, background): “These humanlike characteristics may include physical appearance (such as a religious agent believed to look humanlike; Guthrie, 1993), emotional states perceived to be uniquely human (e.g. Leyens et al., 2003), or inner mental states and motivations (Gray, Gray, & Wegner, 2007).”
The presence of the past: Identity continuity and group dynamics (2015, background): “Bastian, Bain, & Kashima, 2006), while few studies have examined the different ways in which in-groups can be essentialised and how this affects intergroup dynamics (Leyens et al., 2003; Verkuyten, 2003).”
The uniquely human content of stereotypes (2010, background): “In this sense, Leyens et al. (2003) reported that participants did not infrahumanize a stranger identified by name.”
Attributing Human Uniqueness and Human Nature to Cultural Groups: Distinct Forms of Subtle Dehumanization (2009, background): “‘Infrahumanization’ occurs when people attribute more uniquely human characteristics to their own group than to outgroups (Leyens et al., 2000; Leyens et al., 2003).”
Not yet human: implicit knowledge, historical dehumanization, and contemporary consequences. (2008, unknown): “Leyens and his colleagues, for instance, have examined the attribution of secondary—more human— emotions (Demoulin et al., 2004, 2005; Gaunt, Leyens, & Demoulin, 2002; Leyens et al., 2001, 2003; Vaes, Paladino, Castelli, Leyens, & Giovanazzi, 2003; Vaes, Paladino, & Leyens, 2004, 2006).”
