Metadehumanization, the perception of being treated as less than a human by others, is a pervasive phenomenon in intergroup relations. It is dissociated from stigmatization or stereotypes, and it has been recently identified as a critical process in severe alcohol use disorders (SAUD). Metadehumanization is associated with a wide array of negative consequences for the victim, including negative emotions, aversive self-awareness, cognitive deconstruction, and psychosomatic strains, which are related to anxiety and depression. This study aims to investigate if metadehumanization occurring among patients with SAUD is associated with clinical factors involved in the maintenance of the disease, namely symptoms of depression or anxiety and drinking refusal self-efficacy. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 patients with SAUD. Self-reported questionnaires measured metadehumanization, self-dehumanization (i.e., the feeling of being less than a human), anxiety, depression, drinking refusal self-efficacy, and demographics. Metadehumanization was significantly associated with self-dehumanization, anxiety, depression, and drinking refusal self-efficacy. Additionally, path analyses showed that self-dehumanization mediated the links between metadehumanization and clinical variables. These results indicate that metadehumanization and self-dehumanization could be essential factors to consider during SAUD treatment, as they are associated with increased psychiatric symptoms and reduced drinking refusal self-efficacy.

元去人性化和自我去人化与严重酒精使用障碍患者的拒绝饮酒自我效能降低以及焦虑和抑郁症状增加有关。

超人性化，即被他人视为不如人的感觉，是群体间关系中普遍存在的现象。它与污名化或刻板印象分离，最近被确定为严重酒精使用障碍 (SAUD) 的关键过程。元去人化与受害者的一系列负面后果有关，包括负面情绪、厌恶的自我意识、认知解构和与焦虑和抑郁有关的心身紧张。本研究旨在调查 SAUD 患者中发生的超人性化是否与维持该疾病的临床因素有关，即抑郁或焦虑的症状以及拒绝饮酒的自我效能感。在 120 名 SAUD 患者中进行了一项横断面研究。自我报告的问卷测量了超非人性化、自我非人化（即低于人类的感觉）、焦虑、抑郁、拒绝饮酒的自我效能感和人口统计学。元去人化与自我去人化、焦虑、抑郁和拒绝饮酒的自我效能感显着相关。此外，路径分析表明，自我去人性化介导了超去人化和临床变量之间的联系。这些结果表明，超非人性化和自我非人化可能是 SAUD 治疗期间需要考虑的重要因素，因为它们与精神症状增加和拒绝饮酒自我效能感降低有关。和人口统计。元去人化与自我去人化、焦虑、抑郁和拒绝饮酒的自我效能感显着相关。此外，路径分析表明，自我去人性化介导了超去人化和临床变量之间的联系。这些结果表明，超非人性化和自我非人化可能是 SAUD 治疗期间需要考虑的重要因素，因为它们与精神症状增加和拒绝饮酒自我效能感降低有关。和人口统计。元去人化与自我去人化、焦虑、抑郁和拒绝饮酒的自我效能感显着相关。此外，路径分析表明，自我去人性化介导了超去人化和临床变量之间的联系。这些结果表明，超非人性化和自我非人化可能是 SAUD 治疗期间需要考虑的重要因素，因为它们与精神症状增加和拒绝饮酒自我效能感降低有关。
