Relations of social cognition with affective states: Insights from an expanded 2650-word database on warmth and competence.
Article in Behavior research methods, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We expanded an existing database of affectively charged words by adding ratings of warmth and competence. We also examined the relationships between these two dimensions and previously established ones - positivity, negativity, automaticity, reflectiveness, arousal, and subjective significance. In this study, 948 participants evaluated 2650 words on warmth and competence using a modified version of the Self-Assessment Manikin scale. This allowed us to obtain ratings of perceived warmth and competence for each word. We also identified the type, direction, and strength of the relationships between warmth and competence and each affective dimension. The results provide a detailed mapping of these associations, and the database may serve as a valuable resource for future research. The findings, possible usage of our database, and limitations are discussed.
