Indeed, derogatory labels are successful in increasing dehumanization in bystanders; research however has yet to investigate whether the same applies to victims themselves. In the present study (<em>N<\/em>\u00a0= 207) we predicted that being targeted with sexist slurs would lead women to dehumanize themselves. After completing a perspective-taking task, participants were exposed to the manipulation (control vs neutral vs objectifying vs animalizing insult) and rated self-attributed emotions, perceptions of self as an instrument, and self-attributed warmth and competence. Results showed that sexist slurs led participants to self-attribute more primary emotions, and to consider themselves as less human- and more object-like. This was particularly true for animalizing slurs. In conclusion, our results show that derogatory language is different from generic insults, in that it can lead to self-dehumanization. This is relevant especially in light of the current discourse about hate speech policing (e.g. DDL Zan).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The words of (non-) humanity: sexist slurs elicit self-dehumanization in women &#8211; Carmen Cervone (University of Padova)<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-9"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":681,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680\/revisions\/681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/specolab.psy.unipd.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
