Discrimination is a pressing, global problem (Smith, 2011, 2016). Like the commentators on my original article (Giner-Sorolla et al., 2021; Goldenberg et al., 2021; Smith, 2021; Vaes et al., 2021), I believe that understanding the psychological causes underlying discrimination will bring us one small step closer to reducing its prevalence and impact. A particularly influential idea within the social sciences is that a psychological process of dehumanization is one important cause of discrimination (Harris & Fiske, 2011; Haslam, 2006; Smith, 2016). According to the dehumanization hypothesis, victims of intergroup harm are perceived as similar to nonhuman entities. As a result, they are rendered more vulnerable to harm.

伪造非人性化假说

歧视是一个紧迫的全球性问题（史密斯，2011年，2016年）。就像我的原始文章的评论员一样（Giner-Sorolla等，2021； Goldenberg等，2021； Smith，2021； Vaes等，2021），我相信理解歧视背后的心理原因将使我们受益匪浅。进一步减少其流行和影响。社会科学中一个特别有影响力的想法是，非人性化的心理过程是造成歧视的重要原因（Harris＆Fiske，2011； Haslam，2006； Smith，2016）。根据非人性化假设，团体间伤害的受害者被认为与非人类实体相似。结果，使他们更容易受到伤害。
