Experiment Instructions
This study is about how social groups in society are generally perceived. You will see a list of different social groups.
For each group, you'll be asked to rate how you think people in society see that group on five different traits: dominance, warmth, competence, attractiveness, and openness.
Your answers will be on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely). Please respond as honestly and thoughtfully as you can. The order of the groups and traits will be randomized.
Experiment Instructions (continued)
Before you begin, please read the definitions of the five traits carefully.
Dominance: a person who has the tendency to exert control or influence over others in a group or situation
Warmth: a person who has, shows, or expresses enthusiasm, affection, or kindness
Competence: a person who is efficient and capable to do things in general
Attractiveness: a person who looks physically appealing
Openness: a person who is motivated to seek new experiences and consider new ideas
