Stereo Content Models proposes that all stereotypes are based on social perceptions of warmth and competence. Judgments of out-group members concern two things: Do they intend to harm me? Are they capable of harming me?
These answers stem from appraisals of warmth, meaning social perceptions of honesty, trustworthiness, friendliness, sincerity, etc.; OR appraisals of competence, like skillfulness, knowledge, intelligence, confidence, etc.
When we stereotype, competitors lack warmth, while noncompetitors are warm. When we stereotype, high-status people seem competent while low-status people seem incompetent or incapable of harming us.
These assessments determine, often how we might feel about others.
Low-competence/low warmth others Receive our contempt (out-groups)
Low-competence/high warmth others Receive our pity (paternalism)
High-competence/low warmth others Receive our admiration (envy)
High-competence/high warmth others Receive our pride (in-group status)
Out Group Homogeneity Effect = the tendency to see members of an out-group as highly similar while seeing members of our own group as unique and individual.
Illusory Correlation Principle = When two objects or people are noted to be linked in some way, others have a tendency to believe they are always linked.
ETHNOCENTRISM
The belief that your ethnic group is somehow superior to other groups.
Ethnocentric Attribution Bias: The tendency to make internal attributions for the positive behavior of the in-group while making external attributions for its negative behavior. The ULTIMATE attribution error.
