The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) has been validated in multiple countries and regions. However, the previous validation studies in China were limited by small sample size. The current research enlarged sample size (n = 184 in pilot study and n = 1315 in formal study) to validate SCM in mainland China. Supporting the SCM, 41 social groups were clustered into four quadrants based on warmth and component dimensions. In addition, 24 typical social groups were selected and a list of stereotype words for these groups was developed. The implications of the emerging social groups and the applications of this stereotype words list were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
