As warm as competent, really? On the importance of stereotype facets in the context of autism.
Article in The British journal of social psychology, 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
Previous work using the Stereotype Content Model reveals that autistic individuals come across as equally warm, if not warmer, than competent. This pattern runs against the widespread representations of autistic individuals as highly intelligent but lacking in social skills. The present research addresses this inconsistency by considering the facets of social judgement. Across two studies (Study 1-students' sample: N = 497, Study 2-general population sample: N = 667), participants completed trait attributions and reported spontaneous stereotypes. Results consistently revealed that respondents perceived autistic individuals as low in friendliness but high in morality and higher in ability than in assertiveness. Moreover, whereas friendliness and ability dominated spontaneous descriptions, morality and assertiveness were evoked only marginally. These findings highlight the added value of analysing stereotypes at the facet level, at least when it comes to autistic individuals, and offer a more nuanced understanding of stereotypic representations of this group.
