Low-status groups elicit contempt but still receive less pure derogation than other outgroups.

Evidence

As before, pure derogation was directed only toward the poor— poor people, welfare recipients, and homeless people. Although this cluster was perceived to be lower on warmth than was any other cluster, its warmth score (M 2.42) was still significantly higher than its competence score (M 1.97), t(2) 4.95, p .05. The cluster’s competence, however, was equivalent to that of disabled, elderly, and retarded people. — Susan T. Fiske et al., A Model of (Often Mixed) Stereotype…, 191
