The SCM property space: 6 properties organized as 3 bipolar dimensions (competence, warmth, solidarity). The SocialDimension type (axis labels) and SCMProperty type (pole endpoints) live here rather than in Core/SocialMeaning.lean because they are specific to the SCM theoretical framework.

Key results #

The 6 property endpoints of the SCM: two poles for each of the three dimensions.

These are the values that a persona can take — a persona selects one pole from each dimension (e.g., competent + warm + solidary).

      Social-meaning dimensions, grounded in @cite{fiske-cuddy-glick-xu-2002} @cite{fiske-cuddy-glick-2007}'s universal dimensions of social cognition.

      • competence: precision, intelligence, reliability, education — Fiske et al.'s competence dimension; BSB2022's "Status" PCA factor (articulate, intelligent, confident, trustworthy)
      • warmth: friendliness, spontaneity, casualness, approachability — Fiske et al.'s warmth dimension; BSB2022's "Solidarity" PCA factor (friendly, cool, laid-back, likeable)
      • antiSolidarity: pedantic, uptight — the negative pole of warmth, factored out as an independent PCA component in BSB2022 because pedantic/uptight load separately from the positive warmth scales

          The SCM property space: 6 properties with 3 incompatibility pairs (opposite poles of each dimension).

            The SCM has exactly 8 personae (2^3 from 3 binary dimensions).

            Incompatible properties are always on the same dimension.

            Incompatible properties always have opposite polarity.
