Abstract
This study investigated the effects of meta-dehumanization, meta-hate, and meta-prejudice among non-Muslims toward Muslims in the UK. Using an experimental design with three conditions, participants (N = 382) were randomly assigned to either the meta-dehumanization, meta-hate, or meta-prejudice condition. Each participant was exposed to a fabricated, allegedly real news article portraying British Muslims as dehumanizing, hating, or disliking British non-Muslims. Following this, participants completed a questionnaire assessing hate, dehumanization, willingness for intergroup contact, and support for aggressive collective actions. Results indicated that both meta-dehumanization and meta-hate led to greater hate, dehumanization, and reduced willingness for intergroup contact compared to meta-prejudice. Furthermore, meta-dehumanization resulted in stronger support for aggressive collective actions than both meta-hate and meta-prejudice.
