dehumanization/infrahumanization  

Definición

  • Dehumanization occurs when a person or group is perceived as less than human, is likened to a nonhuman, or is treated in a way that disregards the person's or group's humanity. Social psychologists have generally studied dehumanization in contexts of intergroup conflict and violence, such as war and genocide, because the phenomenon appears to be intimately involved in them.
