![]() ![]() Rising partisan animosity is associated with a reduction in support for democracy and an increase in support for political violence. These findings shed considerable light on the nature and depth of modern partisan polarization. We find pronounced willingness by both Democrats and Republicans to dehumanize members of the out-party. ![]() Participants were exposed to identical information about a melee at a gathering, with the partisanship of those involved randomly assigned. Finally, we present a survey experiment offering causal leverage to examine openness to dehumanization in the processing of new information about misdeeds by in- and out-partisans. We also show that dehumanization “predicts” partisan motivated reasoning and is correlated with respondent worldview. We examine the relationship between dehumanization and other key partisan intensity measures, finding that it is most closely related to extreme affective polarization. This uncovers striking, consistent observational evidence that many partisans dehumanize members of the opposing party. We begin by looking at two different measures of dehumanization (one subtle and one more direct). Applying insights from recent work in social psychology, we employ three novel large-N, broadly representative online surveys, fielded over the course of 4 years, across two presidential administrations, to examine the extent to which this brand of polarization features a willingness to apply dehumanizing metaphors to out-partisans.
