Analysis of Social Connection and Dehumanization, by Adam Waytz and Nicholas Epley

Introduction: Research by Adam Waytz and Nicholas Epley on "inhumanization of social relations" focuses on the concept of inhumanization and the reason why human-like qualities can be attributed to humans. The focus of this article is not the inhumanization of invaders and victims, but two Nazi doctors are measuring the vital signs of Jewish prisoners in ice water (Waytz & Epley 2011). Humanization between things.

There are uses other than the traditional social background for inhumanization. Personificationism (ie, perception in entities other than humans reflects human psychology and physical abilities) is inhumanized, and inhumanization occurs when human characteristics are rejected by others. Waytz, Epley, and Cacioppo claim that the reciprocal of factors promoting inhumanization (eg, height, power, social connection) should promote anthropomorphization. In other words, people with lower status and less social interactions are more likely to give human quality to pets or electronic products than people with high status, high ability, and societal relevance .

Pets are thoughtful, considerate, considerate, awkward, creative, ranging from 1 (completely incorrect) to 9 (completely correct) using Epley, Waytz, and Cacioppo (2007) , Use an awkward feature. We are Epley et al. It is focused on the same anthropomorphic character as (ie, thoughtful, considerate and considerate). The proposed relationship is particularly related to social relations. Specifically, we calculated the average score of the scores of the three features. Anthropomorphic scales of pets show higher scores, indicating that the owner injected more humane feelings related to social connections to their pets.

In 2005, psychologist Justin Kruger of the University of Chicago and colleague Nicholas Epley presented research on plaintext communication limitation in the form of e - mail to Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. According to their survey, the recipient often "listens" for text communication at creation, in a different way from the message creator. They discovered that people overestimate the ability to communicate and hear the expected tone, including the difference between satirical information and serious information.
