Abstract in brief

  • This text presents a general comparison-based model of self-perception, emphasizing that people's self-views are influenced by various comparison standards and are motivated by survival needs, which makes them dynamic rather than fixed or entirely accurate.
  • The model involves three key steps: the individual's mental representation of a trait, the comparison standard, and the resulting comparison outcome, which then influences emotions, thoughts, and behaviors based on motives and controllability.
  • Personal and contextual factors impact the comparison process, and understanding these processes can improve insights into daily self-perception and guide interventions to help people address negative effects of comparing themselves to others.]
