Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence categorization, a person will feel...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

2020
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...

Cultural insensitivity refers to a lack of respect or understanding for cultural differences, often resulting in offensive or inappropriate marketing messages. For instance, using wrong cultural symbols or failing to understand local customs can be seen as disrespectful. Stereotypes, on the other hand, are overgeneralizations about certain...

T cells expressing a CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) are infused as investigational treatment of B-cell malignancies in our first-in-human gene therapy trials. We describe genetic modification of T cells using the Sleeping Beauty (SB) system to introduce CD19-specific CAR and selective propagation on designer CD19+ artificial antigen presenting cells.
FAQs
Attractiveness can function as an initial cue that colors later judgments. Once that cue is formed, observers may interpret ambiguous information in a more favorable direction, extending a positive impression beyond appearance itself. The important psychological issue is that the judged qualities may have no actual relationship to physical attractiveness, yet still influence social perception.
The halo effect helps explain why this stereotype can operate quickly. A favorable first impression may trigger largely automatic evaluations before a person has carefully considered relevant evidence. Such speed matters because early impressions can shape subsequent judgments of qualities such as competence or trustworthiness, making appearance influential even when it is unrelated to the decision.
The stereotype is not limited to one favorable trait. It can spread across judgments of intelligence, competence, kindness, trustworthiness, and social value, creating a broad impression from a single appearance-based cue. This breadth distinguishes the process from a narrowly relevant assessment, in which each quality would be judged using evidence specific to that quality.
In education, the bias can affect how students are perceived when appearance becomes entangled with judgments of intelligence or competence. In employment, the same pattern can shape impressions of competence and suitability. Psychology therefore treats appearance-based evaluation as a potential source of unequal opportunities, especially when judgments concern qualities that appearance cannot establish.
Media representation is an important context because it can be examined alongside the qualities associated with attractive people in public portrayals. Legal decision-making provides another consequential setting, where impressions of trustworthiness or social value may influence how people are viewed. Together, these contexts show that the stereotype extends beyond personal interactions into broader social judgments.
Fairer evaluation practices begin by recognizing that an appearance-based impression may be unrelated to the quality being judged. Evaluators should focus attention on information relevant to the decision rather than allowing a general positive impression to substitute for evidence. This principle applies across relationships, schools, workplaces, media, and legal settings.
