We built upon a recent study by Rodrigues, Fasoli, Huic, and Lopes (2018) by investigating potential mechanisms driving the dehumanization of consensual non-monogamous (CNM) partners. Using a between-subjects experimental design, we asked 202 Portuguese individuals (158 women; M = 29.17, SD = 9.97) to read the description of two partners in a monogamous, open, or polyamorous relationship, and to make a series of judgments about both partners. Results showed the expected dehumanization effect, such that both groups of CNM partners (open and polyamorous) were attributed more primary (vs. secondary) emotions, whereas the reverse was true for monogamous partners. Moreover, results showed that the dehumanization effect was driven by the perception of CNM partners as less moral and less committed to their relationship. However, these findings were observed only for individuals with unfavorable (vs. favorable) attitudes toward CNM relationship. Overall, this study replicated the original findings and extended our understanding of why people in CNM relationships are stigmatized.
我们在罗德里格斯、法索利、胡克和洛佩斯（2018）的一项近期研究的基础上，进一步调查了驱使人们对双方同意的非单一伴侣关系（CNM）伴侣产生去人性化的潜在机制。通过采用被试间实验设计，我们要求 202 名葡萄牙人（158 名女性；M=29.17，SD=9.97）阅读一段关于处于单一伴侣、开放式或多伴侣关系的两名伴侣的描述，并对两名伴侣做出一系列判断。结果显示出预期的去人性化效应，即 CNM 伴侣（开放式和多伴侣）被归因于更多的原发性（相对于继发性）情绪，而单一伴侣则相反。此外，结果表明，去人性化效应是由对 CNM 伴侣的感知驱动的，即他们的道德感较低，对关系的承诺度较低。然而，这些发现仅适用于对 CNM 关系持不利（相对于有利）态度的个体。总的来说，这项研究复制了最初的发现，并扩展了我们对为什么 CNM 关系中的人会受到污名化的理解。
