Uncivil behavior involves an attack on social norms related to the protection of public property and respect for community life. However, at the same time, the low-frequency and relatively low-intensity damage caused by most of these behaviors could lead to incivilities being considered a typically human action. The purpose of this set of studies is to examine the automatic associations that people establish between humanness and both civic and uncivil behaviors. Across three studies, uncivil behaviors were more strongly associated with human pictures than animal pictures (study 1) and with human-related words than animal-related words (study 2). We replicated study 2 with uncivil behaviors that do not prime graphically human beings (study 3). Overall, our results showed that uncivil behaviors and civic behaviors were clearly associated with human concepts. Our findings have direct implications for the conceptualization of humanness and its denial.
不文明行为涉及对与保护公共财产和尊重社区生活相关的社会规范的攻击。然而，与此同时，这些行为中的大多数所造成的低频且相对低强度的破坏可能导致不文明行为被视为一种典型的人类行为。这一系列研究的目的是检验人们在人性与文明行为和不文明行为之间建立的自动联想。在三项研究中，不文明行为与人类图片的关联比与动物图片的关联更强（研究1），与人类相关词汇的关联比与动物相关词汇的关联更强（研究2）。我们用不会在视觉上引发人类形象的不文明行为重复了研究2（研究3）。总体而言，我们的结果表明，不文明行为和文明行为都与人类概念明显相关。我们的研究结果对人性的概念化及其否定具有直接影响。
