Enviable outgroups historically split from pitied ones along warmth and competence.
Evidence
In the intergroup domain, early on, one ethnic out-group (i.e., Jews) was viewed as competent but not warm, and another (i.e., “Negroes”) was viewed as warm but not competent (Allport, 1954; Bettelheim & Janowitz, 1950). Curiously, this older ethnic-group distinction echoes modern-day views about perceived subgroups of women (Deaux, Winton, Crowley, & Lewis, 1985; Eckes, 1994; Noseworthy & Lott, 1984; Six & Eckes, 1991): disliked, dominant, competent, nontraditional women (e.g., career women, feminists, lesbians, athletes) versus likable, dependent, incompetent, traditional women (e.g., housewives, sometimes “chicks”). Overall, the ethnic and gender distinctions both fit our hypothesized dimensions of competence and warmth. — Susan T. Fiske et al., A Model of (Often Mixed) Stereotype…, 19
