Mixed stereotypes combine high competence with low warmth or vice versa

Evidence

Nine varied samples rated gender, ethnicity, race, class, age, and disability out-groups. Contrary to antipathy models, 2 dimensions mattered, and many stereotypes were mixed, either pitying (low competence, high warmth subordinates) or envying (high competence, low warmth competitors). Stereotypically, status predicted competence, and competition predicted low warmth. — Susan T. Fiske et al., A Model of (Often Mixed) Stereotype…, 3
