چکیده (انگلیسی):

This research demonstrated that human nature (HN) and human uniqueness (HU) traits capture the content of Americans’
stereotypes about liberals and conservatives, respectively . Consistent with expectations derived from dehumanization theory ,
people more strongly associated HN traits with liberals than with conservatives, and more strongly associated HU traits with
conservatives than with liberals. A trait × target ideology × perceiver ideology × trait valence interaction suggested that both
liberals and conservatives more strongly associated their ingroup with stereotype-consistent positive traits, and their outgroup
with stereotype-consistent negative traits. Mediation analyses revealed that outgroup antipathy , but not ingroup liking, explained
the relationship between ideology and political outgroup dehumanization. Finally , humanness traits captured subtle differences
in political stereotype content not captured with the warmth and competence dimensions derived from the stereotype content
model. T ogether, these results indicate that differential attributions of HN and HU traits capture political stereotype content
and function to subtly dehumanize one’s political opponents.
