Infrahumanization means considering the other or the outgroup as less human than oneself or the ingroup. However, little attention has been given to the variables that determine the selection of which outgroups may be subjected to infrahumanization and the variables that might be moderating this process. This research aims to analyze the role that the relationship with the outgroup plays in the attribution of secondary emotions and the moderator role of organizational dehumanization. Participants (N = 338 students) completed a structured questionnaire that took 15 min. The results show that there is an attribution of humanity to the outgroup when the relationship between ingroup and outgroup is closer. Furthermore, organizational dehumanization had a moderator role between the relationship with the outgroup and the infrahumanization, which shows that when the ingroup perceives that it is being dehumanized by its organization, it attributes less humanity to the outgroup. Our research extends the theoretical understanding of infrahumanization and suggests that the relationship between the outgroup and the organizational dehumanization impacts the attribution of humanity.

非人性化意味着认为他人或外群体不如自己或内群体人性化。然而，很少有人关注决定哪些外群体可能遭受非人化选择的变量以及可能调节这一过程的变量。本研究旨在分析与外群体的关系在次要情绪归因中的作用以及组织非人化的调节作用。参与者（N  = 338 名学生）完成了一份结构化调查问卷，耗时 15 分钟。结果表明，当内群体与外群体的关系越密切时，人性就会对外群体产生归属感。此外，组织非人化在与外群体的关系和非人性化之间发挥着调节作用，这表明当内群体意识到自己被组织非人化时，它会减少对外群体的人性化。我们的研究扩展了对非人性化的理论理解，并表明外群体与组织非人性化之间的关系影响着人性的归属。
