People use perceptions of warmth and competence as fundamental features in making decisions about others (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick, & Xu, 2002). Participants were told that they were part of a high status group and then rated either a high status in-group or lower status out-group along dimensions of warmth, competence, and perceived threat. Results show that high status participants view their in-group as high in competence and low in warmth, while perceiving the out-group as low in competence and high in warmth. These findings suggest that compensation in an inter-group setting operates according to distinctiveness rather than general positive ratings for the in-group on all dimensions.
