Abstract
Seven studies (N=3,783), utilizing a variety of methodologies such as a correlational design, natural language processing, and experimental approaches, converged to demonstrate that perceived high social mobility reduces dehumanization. Enhanced sense of control rather than increased empathy could account for this effect.
