Metadehumanisation (i.e., the perception of being considered as less than human by others) is proposed to be widespread in stigmatised populations, such as people with severe alcohol use disorder (SAUD). However, the relations between metadehumanisation, self-dehumanisation (i.e., the self-perception of being less than human), and stigmatisation (i.e., the negative taint applied to some groups) remain unexplored. The aim of this research is thus to investigate the relations between these processes. Metadehumanisation, self-dehumanisation, self-stigma (and its subdimensions) and environmental satisfaction were assessed in 120 inpatients with SAUD and analysed in a mediational model. Stigma awareness was positively associated with metadehumanisation, whereas environmental satisfaction was negatively associated with metadehumanisation. Stigma's application to the self was associated with increased self-dehumanisation. Self-stigma and self-dehumanisation are closely intertwined phenomena. Self-dehumanisation seems to follow a multi-step process suggesting that some steps, such as dehumanisation awareness, are missing from current models of dehumanisation.
去人性化（即被他人认为不如人类）被认为在受污名化的人群中很普遍，例如有严重酗酒问题的人。然而，去人性化、自我去人性化（即自我感觉不如人类）和污名化（即对某些群体的负面评价）之间的关系仍未得到探索。因此，这项研究的目的是调查这些过程之间的关系。在 120 名有严重酗酒问题的住院患者中评估了去人性化、自我去人性化、自我污名化（及其子维度）和环境满意度，并在中介模型中进行了分析。污名意识与去人性化呈正相关，而环境满意度与去人性化呈负相关。污名的应用于自身与自我去人性化的增加有关。自我污名化和自我去人性化是紧密交织的现象。自我去人性化似乎遵循一个多步骤的过程，这表明当前的去人性化模型中缺少一些步骤，例如去人性化意识。
