High-competence low-warmth groups are reliably rated low on warmth.

Evidence

Thus, the warmth dimension did consistently distinguish among groups. Across studies, 76.4% of the warmth comparisons were significant. More specifically, a critic might argue that the high competence, low warmth group was not consistently low on warmth. However, it was significantly lower than the high warmth groups in nine of nine tests and equivalent to the other low warmth cluster four of eight times. Thus, the warmth dimension remains important, although it admittedly distinguished less than the competence dimension did. Because competence varied more than warmth, the warmth differences suffer by comparison. Nevertheless, the warmth effects are sizable, significant, and reliable. — Susan T.
