Social psychology. Why ordinary people torture enemy prisonersSusan T Fiske
Princeton University, Princeton NJ 08544-1010, USA
Science 306:1482-3. 2004- Mind the gap: in praise of informal sources of formal theorySusan T Fiske

Department of Psychology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
Am Psychol 65:698-706. 2010..Regarding envy up, other studies demonstrate that Schadenfreude (malicious joy) targets envied outgroups. However, counterstereotypic information, empathy, and outcome dependency can mitigate both scorn and envy...- A model of (often mixed) stereotype content: competence and warmth respectively follow from perceived status and competitionSusan T Fiske
Department of Psychology, Princeton University, New Jersey 08544 1010, USA
J Pers Soc Psychol 82:878-902. 2002..Stereotypically, status predicted competence, and competition predicted low warmth... - Universal dimensions of social cognition: warmth and competenceSusan T Fiske
Department of Psychology, Green Hall, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA

Ann N Y Acad Sci 1167:31-4. 2009..Other groups may be instead envied and viewed as tools or automatons, that is, objectified.

Department of Psychology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
Psychol Sci 22:306-13. 2011..Outcomes of social group competition can directly affect primary reward-processing neural systems, which has implications for intergroup harm... - Toward socially inspired social neuroscienceAlexander Todorov
Psychology Department, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Brain Res 1079:76-85. 2006..Among the implications for social neuroscience: Social cognition intrinsically evokes affect, so social cognitive affective neuroscience glues together a variety of fields in psychological and neurosciences... - From agents to objects: sexist attitudes and neural responses to sexualized targetsMina Cikara
Department of Psychology, Princeton University, NJ 08540, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 23:540-51. 2011..The current studies demonstrate that appetitive social targets may elicit a similar response depending on perceivers' attitudes toward them... - Dehumanizing the lowest of the low: neuroimaging responses to extreme out-groupsLasana T Harris
Psychology Department, Green Hall, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
Psychol Sci 17:847-53. 2006..No objects, though rated with the same emotions, activated the mPFC. This neural evidence supports the prediction that extreme out-groups may be perceived as less than human, or dehumanized... 
Social groups that elicit disgust are differentially processed in mPFCLasana T Harris

Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 2:45-51. 2007..This evidence fits differentiated mPFC processing of extreme outgroups, which activate mPFC less than other groups, but suggests that individuation increases activation...- On the wrong side of the trolley track: neural correlates of relative social valuationMina Cikara
Department of Psychology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 5:404-13. 2010..Moral decisions are not made in a vacuum; intergroup biases and stereotypes weigh heavily on neural systems implicated in moral decision making... - Regions of the MPFC differentially tuned to social and nonsocial affective evaluationLasana T Harris
Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, USA
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci 7:309-16. 2007..Affective evaluation may be a general function of the MPFC, with some regions being tuned to more specific domains of information (e.g., social) than are others... - Stereotyping by omission: eliminate the negative, accentuate the positiveHilary B Bergsieker
Department of Psychology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
J Pers Soc Psychol 102:1214-38. 2012..Multiple assessment methods confirm this stereotyping-by-omission phenomenon (Study 5).

J Pers Soc Psychol 86:713-28. 2004..The authors argue that hostile as well as benevolent attitudes toward men reflect and support gender inequality by characterizing men as being designed for dominance... - An inconvenienced youth? Ageism and its potential intergenerational rootsMichael S North

Neuroimage 28:763-9. 2005..Thus, activated areas converge with prior neuro-imaging data on theory of mind and social cognition, but more precisely isolate the exact nature of the inferences that activate these areas... - Ambivalent responsesPeter Glick
