Warmth and competence: stereotype content issues for clinicians and researchers
Open accessAbstract
Stereotypes are often accidents of history, based on passing configurations of groups' societal interdependence and status. This article overviews our framework for understanding all this: the Stereotype Content Model, focused on two fundamental dimension of intergroup and interpersonal cognition, perceived warmth (from interdependence) and perceived competence (from relative status); then it discusses immigrant images as a case study; next, the article focuses on the toxic and potentially curative effects of each dimension.

In the citing paper
“The stereotype content model (Fiske, 2012) used two similar axes to describe how we evaluate individuals in our social environment: an axis of warmth, our perception of the intentions of others, and an axis of competence, our perception of others’ ability to act on their intentions.”
From A map for social navigation in the human brain (2015) · cites this paper as Fiske, 2012
In the citing paper
“Theories in social psychology and experimental evidence across species identify two main factors that define social relationships: power (competence, dominance, hierarchy, etc.) and affiliation (warmth, intimacy, trustworthiness, love, etc.).”
From A map for social navigation in the human brain (2015) · cites this paper as Fiske, 2012
In the citing paper
“Social theories (Fiske, 2012; Todorov et al., 2008; Wiggins et al., 1989), however, suggest that the interaction between power and affiliation, rather than each factor separately, is the major determinant of social perception.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
