Social Stereotype - Stereotype Content Model (SCM). The SCM is a psychological theory that explains
3.1.2
how individuals develop stereotypes about others. It describes stereotypes regarding distinct social groups along
two broad dimensions: Warmth and Competence [28, 29]. These factors allow for the prediction of a range of
emotions and perceptions, including pride, pity, contempt, and envy towards a distinct social group (in this case
towards augmented humans). In HCI, the SCM has been used to describe labeler bias [33], people stereotypes
for artificial intelligence systems [55]. In line with [55], we adapted the items of [29] to measure how attitudes
vary according to perceptions of competence and warmth for augmented humans. For example, an adapted item
would be phrased as follows "In general, augmented humans are perceived as warm."
