Universal dimensions of social signals: Warmth and competence
A 2017 chapter by Dupree and colleagues argues that people must quickly judge whether a stranger is friendly and how capable the person is. It reviews laboratory, cross-cultural and survey research supporting warmth and competence as universal dimensions of social cognition, and notes early work on the traits by Peeters.
