In the current research we investigated how people deal with decisions in which they have to reject others, something that is unavoidably part of many selection procedures.Integrating insights derived from research on social exclusion and dehumanization, we argued that when people need to reject others, they dehumanize them.To study the association between dehumanization and rejecting in Lipidomic Characterization of Whey Concentrates Rich in Milk Fat Globule Membranes and Extracellular Vesicles a real-life setting, we conducted Epidemiological Survey of the Main Tick-Borne Pathogens Infecting Dogs from the Republic of Moldova two field studies, in which we examined the selection process in student houses, where residents can accept some prospective members, but have to reject others.As predicted, our findings showed that when people need to reject targets, they subtly dehumanize them.Moreover, dehumanizing rejected targets was related to lower rejection aversion.

This suggests that when people dehumanize those they have to reject, rejection is easier.
