Evidence
The twin dimensions of stereotype content have numerous precedents, the most prominent earlier inventions being communion and agency, in the context of psychology and religion (Bakan, 1966), as well as social good-bad and intellectual good-bad, in the context of impression formation (Rosenberg, Nelson, & Vivekananthan, 1968). — Susan T.
