Deliberate thinking favors competence over warmth in categories.

Evidence

When participants generate groups spontaneously, they generate only a manageable few, along dimensions that include warmth, competence, and political beliefs. But when forced to generate more (e.g., 40), they become more deliberate, using systematic strategies and mentioning competenceand belief-based groups more than warmth ones (Yzerbyt, Terache, Carrier, Fiske, & Nicolas, 2017). In a deliberate mind-set, competence seems more objective, has higher consensus, and depends more on the target — Susan T. Fiske, Stereotype Content, 47
