Despite growing research on (de)humanisation in the socioeconomic domain, the extent and diversity of these tendencies withinthe population remain unclear. This study used a representative sample of Spaniards (N = 1478) to examine the existence andprevalence of distinct dehumaniser profiles at both the individual (Level 1) and societal (Level 2) levels. We conducted a multi-level latent profile analysis using humanity attribution scores for low-, middle- and high-SES groups. At the individual level, fiveprofiles emerged: high- (12%), middle- (27%) and low- (41%) generalised humanisers, high-SES dehumanisers (6%) and hierarchylegitimisers (13%). At the societal level, we identified three profiles: assimilators (52%), indifferents (7%) and unsettled (41%).Adherence to these profiles appeared to be influenced by participants' socioeconomic backgrounds or system justification andmeritocracy, with profiles differing in their demand for social change. We discuss the applied relevance of mapping dehumani-sation tendencies on the design of targeted interventions.
