The developmental origins of dehumanization
Prejudice and intergroup conflict remain substantial social problems across the globe.
Perceiving others as ‘less than human’ appears to be an integral aspect of intergroup
bias. In this talk, I discuss our recent research investigating the origins of
dehumanisation in development. I reflect upon the relationship between dehumanisation and
key topics in the study of social cognitive development such as theory of mind. I end by
discussing the implications of this work for research-led interventions to encourage more
positive intergroup relations.
We are looking forward to see you at the talk!
