Resumo(s)
This set of studies tests the link between infra-humanization, symbolic threat, and discrimination within
normative contexts. In two experiments, manipulating the degree of humanity of a disliked outgroup has
an effect upon the discrimination towards it. The infra-humanized outgroup is more discriminated than
the humanized one. Also, the perception of symbolic threat plays the role of a justifying factor for discrimination,
and mediates the relationship between degrees of humanity and discrimination. Study 2 further
shows that this mediation occurs only when an egalitarian norm is activated, and not when
meritocracy is made salient. The discussion focuses on factors likely to prevent infra-humanization of
outgroups. It also considers how norms may change the role of threat.
