High competence plus high warmth cluster describes in-groups not outgroups.

Evidence

The four-cluster solutions for Study 1 reveal clusters in three quadrants of a 2 2 Competence Warmth matrix, with a fourth cluster indecisively stationed in the middle. What groups fit into the high competence, high warmth combination? Not out-groups, we suggest, but in-groups, their allies, or cultural default reference groups. To test this hypothesis, Study 2 explicitly includes in-groups. — Susan T. Fiske et al., A Model of (Often Mixed) Stereotype…, 159

Categorization

• QUESTION: Worth chasing: does age-based ambivalence or subgroup variety in who counts as ‘fellow citizen’ shift stereotype-model placement over history?
• XREF: connects to: Stereotypes do not sour-grape away envied outgroup competence but justify their high status. — Susan T.
