Three studies investigated moderators of the tendency to attribute greater humanness to the self than to others, an interpersonal counterpart of outgroup infra - humanization. Study 1 demonstrated that this self - humanizing effect is reduced when the other is the focus of comparison. Study 2 showed that the effect is reduced when the other is individuated. Study 3 indicated that empathy does not moderate self - humanizing : Self - humanizing failed to correlate negatively with dispositional empathy or perspective - taking. Study 3 also indicated that abstract construal moderates the self - humanizing effect using a temporal comparison. Participants rated their future self, but not their past self, as less human than their present self. Studies 1 and 3 also showed that self - humanizing is greater for undesirable traits : People may view their failings as "only human." All findings were distinct from those attributable to self - enhancement. Self - humanizing may reflect a combination of egocentrism, focalism, abstract representation of others, and motivated processes.
