人们不仅不把别人当人看，他们也不把自己当人看，以回应他们自己的有害行为。我们在四项研究中研究了这种自我非人化效应。研究1和2表明，当参与者是社会排斥的肇事者时，他们认为自己比参与非厌恶性人际交往时更不人性化。对他们行为的不道德的感知介导了这种效应。研究3和4强调了自我非人化的行为后果。参与者在遭受社会排斥后认为自己不太人性化的程度预测了随后的亲社会行为。研究2至4还表明，自我非人化的后果独立于自尊或情绪的任何影响。研究结果进行了讨论，与以前的工作去人性化和自我认知。我们的结论是，在不道德的行为（自我）的背景下，去人性化可能是功能。
People not only dehumanize others, they also dehumanize the self in response to their own harmful behavior. We examine this self-dehumanization effect across four studies. Studies 1 and 2 show that when participants are perpetrators of social ostracism, they view themselves as less human compared with when they engage in nonaversive interpersonal interactions. Perceived immorality of their behavior mediated this effect. Studies 3 and 4 highlight the behavioral consequences of self-dehumanization. The extent to which participants saw themselves as less human after perpetrating social ostracism predicted subsequent prosocial behavior. Studies 2 to 4 also demonstrate that consequences of self-dehumanization occur independently of any effects of self-esteem or mood. The findings are discussed in relation to previous work on dehumanization and self-perception. We conclude that in the context of immoral actions (self) dehumanization may be functional.
