Facets of Social Evaluation Differentially Predict Intergroup Bias Toward Occupational and Migrant Groups

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Stereotype content research identifies groups at risk of being negatively stereotyped. The present research investigated the dimensionality of the facets of social evaluation (ability, assertiveness, friendliness, morality) as well as their sociostructural predictors (status and threat) and consequences (intergroup emotions and behavioral intentions) based on the SCM/BIAS map. We tested our predictions in two different societal domains: occupations and migrants from different countries of origin. Across two preregistered studies (Study 1: N = 720, Study 2: N = 688) with samples representative of the German population regarding age and gender, results revealed comparatively domain-independent predictions of status and threat, but domain-dependent predictions of the facets on the downstream variables. We highlight the value of integrating the facets into the SCM/BIAS map for research on prejudice and discrimination within and across societal domains.
