Citations in the corpus

• 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 ).”
• Mind Attribution is for Morality (2013, background): “Furthermore, interpersonal liking is often correlated with mind attribution (Kozak, Marsh, & Wegner, 2006), and people will attribute particular mental states, such as secondary emotions, preferentially to in- vs. out-group members (Harris & Fiske, 2006; Leyens et al., 2000).”
• The Interplay of Subjective Essentialism and Entitativity in the Formation of Stereotypes (2001, background): “…on entitativity can be traced to the seminal work of Campbell (1958), the notion of essentialism stems from a variety of intellectual traditions (N. Haslam, Rothschild, & Ernst, 2000; Leyens et al., 2000; Rothbart & Taylor, 1992; Yzerbyt & Rocher, in press; Yzerbyt, Rocher, & Schadron, 1997).”
• The Association of Cognitive Ability with Right–Wing Ideological Attitudes and Prejudice: A Meta–Analytic Review (2015, neutral): “, 1997), essentialist thinking (Hodson & Skorska, 2015; Roets & Van Hiel, 2011a), out-group dehumanization (Leyens et al., 2000; Hodson, MacInnis & Costello, 2014) or disgust sensitivity (Hodson et al.”
• The mind in the machine: Anthropomorphism increases trust in an autonomous vehicle (2014, background): “…lay theories of humanness show that people define humanness in terms of emotions that implicate higher order mental process such as self-awareness and memory (e.g., humiliation, nostalgia ; Leyens et al., 2000) and traits that involve cognition and emotion (e.g., analytic, insecure; Haslam, 2006).”
• Intergroup contact and intergroup attitudes: a longitudinal study (2007, methodology): “This is consistent with Leyens et al.’s (2000) infrahumanisation hypothesis.”
• The Impact of Intergroup Emotions on Forgiveness in Northern Ireland (2007, background): “People tend to attribute secondary (human) emotions more to the ingroup than to the outgroup (Leyens et al., 2000).”
• Differential Association of Uniquely and Non Uniquely Human Emotions with the Ingroup and the Outgroup (2002, background): “Recently, Leyens et al. (2000) suggested that such a process can be conceived of as a psychological device in intergroup differentiation.”
• On seeing human: a three-factor theory of anthropomorphism. (2007, background): “…outgroups, who are naturally seen and classified as being different from the ingroup (Demoulin et al., 2002; Gaunt, Leyens, & Demoulin, 2002; L. T. Harris & Fiske, 2006; Leyens et al., 2000) or whose members behave bizarrely or inexplicably, such as people with schizophrenia (Kramer & Buck, 1997).”
• From prejudice to discrimination: The legitimizing role of perceived threat in discrimination against immigrants (2010, background): “Pereira et al. (2009) provided experimental support for this hypothesis by manipulating an infra-humanized representation of Turkish people, i.e. the denial of uniquely human essences to the outgroup (Leyens et al., 2000).”
• Social connection enables dehumanization (2012, background): “First, the clearest examples of dehumanization arise in intergroup settings in which ingroup members dehumanize outgroup members (Demoulin et al., 2009; Esses, Veenvliet, Hodson, & Mihic, 2008; Goff, Eberhardt, Williams, & Jackson, 2008; Harris & Fiske, 2006; Leyens et al., 2000).”
• From infra-humanization to discrimination: The mediation of symbolic threat needs egalitarian norms (2009, neutral): “This phenomenon has been called infra-humanization (see Leyens, Demoulin, Vaes, Gaunt, & Paladino, 2007; Leyens et al., 2000).”
