Self-perception and behavior do not occur in a social vacuum: who
we are, and what we do, is often a function of what other people
are and do. Others can inform us of who we are "I am the only sane
person here," or where we stand "I am quite intelligent compare to
him"; others can inspire us "I want to be like her," or discourage
us "I can never be like her." In effect, social comparison is a
fundamental process of self-conception through the perception of
others-self, as it is identified with others.
"Social Comparison Theories: Key" "Readings" offers a core and
comprehensive collection of readings that focus on the motivations
and mechanisms underlying social comparison effects, the role of
social comparison processes in everyday life, the similarities and
differences between interpersonal and inter-group social
comparisons, and the strategies people employ to disregard
detrimental social comparison outcomes. This volume of works shows
the wide range of topics that concern social comparisons
researchers and also the shared beliefs that bind them together.
