Paternalized low-competence groups cluster high on warmth.
Evidence
Another cluster, containing disabled people, elderly people, and retarded people, scored significantly higher on warmth (M 3.73) than on competence (M 2.28), t(2) 8.04, p .05. This cluster resembles the comparable cluster in Study 1, except that Study 2 eliminated housewives and blind people. This cluster scored high on warmth, fully comparable to the in-groups (see below). Together, the two mixed clusters included nine groups, nearly a third of the groups sampled. — Susan T.
