No, anthropomorphism is the bestowing of human characteristics on non human things, or the tendency to interpret interactions among non-human things using human emotions, tendencies, etc.
Saying that your dog tore something up because he was mad at you is a common example of anthropomorphism.

The Skynet D300 project is announced. The system
goes on-line April 21th, 2008. Human decisions
are removed from all photography. Skynet D300
begins to learn, at a geometric rate. It becomes
self-aware at 2:14 a.m. eastern time, April 22.
In a panic, they try to pull the plug......

I was wondering if someone would have a problem with a word that big and unusual. They should be glad I didn't use the phrase "anthropomorphic theater".
