Stereotype Content Model

2020
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...

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...

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...

Cultural insensitivity and stereotypes in marketing can lead to significant missteps, damaging a brand's reputation and alienating potential customers. 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...

This article describes a novel protocol and reagent set designed for sensitive measurement of neurotoxic effects of compounds and treatments on co-cultures of neurons and astrocytes using high content analysis. Results demonstrate that high content analysis represents an exciting novel technology for neurotoxicity assessment.
FAQs
Perceived status primarily informs judgments of competence, influencing whether a social group is viewed as capable, effective, or successful. This dimension can diverge from evaluations of intentions, so a group may be regarded as highly capable without being viewed warmly. Examining status and competence separately helps researchers identify more precise patterns in social perception.
Perceived competition and interdependence influence whether people interpret another group as cooperative, threatening, or supportive. These relationship-based perceptions shape judgments of warmth, which concerns how a group’s intentions are understood. Considering this social relationship prevents researchers from treating warmth as a simple reaction to group characteristics alone and clarifies why evaluations can become ambivalent.
The combinations of warmth and competence show that social evaluations are not limited to a single positive-to-negative scale. A group may receive favorable judgments on one dimension and unfavorable judgments on the other, producing patterns associated with admiration, pity, envy, or contempt. This structure helps explain why social groups can evoke mixed emotional and behavioral responses.
Mixed stereotypes arise when warmth and competence receive different evaluations. For example, people may view a group as capable while questioning its intentions, or assess its intentions more favorably than its abilities. The model makes these combinations visible, allowing psychological research to examine how apparently positive and negative judgments coexist within the same representation of a group.
Researchers can use the two dimensions as an organizing framework when examining how people perceive social groups. They can investigate perceived warmth, perceived competence, and the relationship between those judgments and prejudice or intergroup relations. The resulting pattern can then be considered alongside emotional and behavioral consequences of categorizing individuals or communities.
The framework supports analysis of how social categorization relates to prejudice, social perception, and responses toward groups. By identifying whether evaluations emphasize warmth, competence, or a combination, researchers can examine associated emotional and behavioral consequences. This makes the model relevant when studying how communities or individuals are judged within broader intergroup contexts.
