Research on dehumanisation has typically examined the factors that lead individualsto dehumanise others. This dissertation is significant in that it is among the first attempts toempirically investigate dehumanisation from the perspective of the dehumanised individual.Chapter 1 reviewed the literature and discussed the importance of investigatingdehumanisation from the perspective of the victim. Chapter 2 explored the range ofexperiences people view as dehumanising. A qualitative study using recalled dehumanisingepisodes investigated who respondents identified as the perpetrator and their emotionalreactions to dehumanisation. The results of Study 1 showed that dehumanisation occurs on acontinuum ranging from extreme cases of ongoing abuse to single instances of light ridicule.Further, dehumanisation was more likely to occur within the context of the victim's socialnetwork rather than with outgroup members or socially distant others. Emotional reactions todehumanisation commonly involved intense feelings of shame, anger and sadness.Social exclusion was found to be a dehumanising experience in Chapter 2. Using aquasi-experimental design, the study in Chapter 3 investigated whether experiences ofanimalistic and mechanistic dehumanisation negatively impact the fundamental needsincluding belonging, control, self-esteem and meaningful existence. The findings revealedthat experiences of animalistic dehumanisation are just as likely as exclusion to threaten thefundamental needs. Whereas, experiences of mechanistic dehumanisation are less likely tothreaten one's sense of self-esteem and belonging compared to being excluded.
