Groups seen as competing with the ingroup are stereotyped as low in warmth

Evidence

The Integrated Threat Theory of Prejudice (Stephan & Stephan, 2000) stresses intergroup threats and fears as major causes of prejudice and discrimination, focusing on realistic threats, symbolic threats, intergroup anxiety, and negative stereotypes of outgroups as sources of threat and fear. Relatedly, the Stereotype Content Model (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick, & Xu, 2002) suggests that the stereotypes of groups are captured by two dimensions, competence and warmth, with groups perceived as competing with one’s ingroup seen as low in warmth. This perception then has implications for emotional reactions to outgroups, with low-warmth outgroups eliciting envy or contempt, depending on their perceived competence. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1491
