Who tends to perceive other people as useful objects? The relationship between the general tendency to objectify other people and basic and dark personality traits

Our findings suggest that a propensity for objectification is predicted by an unwillingness to maintain positive relationships with others, lower intellectual openness, higher entitlement and exploitativeness, and low tendency to positively respond to others' favors. The associations with these personality traits may allow for better understanding of - typical for objectification - high focus on fulfilling one's own interests and readiness to exploit others while disregarding their interests and ignoring human attributes such as subjectivity and uniqueness.
