People often see nonhuman agents as human-like. Through the
processes of anthropomorphism and humanization, people attribute
human characteristics, including personalities, free will, and
agency to pets, cars, gods, nature, and the like. Similarly, there
are some people who often see human agents as less than human, or
more object-like. In this manner, objectification describes the
treatment of a human being as a thing, disregarding the person's
personality and/or sentience. For example, women, medical patients,
racial minorities, and people with disabilities, are often seen as
animal-like or less than human through dehumanization and
objectification. These two opposing forces may be a considered a
continuum with anthropomorphism and humanization on one end and
dehumanization and objectification on the other end. Although
researchers have identified some of the antecedents and
consequences of these processes, a systematic investigation of the
motivations that underlie this continuum is lacking. Considerations
of this continuum may have considerable implications for such areas
as everyday human functioning, interactions with people, animals,
and objects, violence, discrimination, relationship development,
mental health, or psychopathology. The edited volume will integrate
multiple theoretical and empirical approaches on this issue.
