Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Context:

  • The self-evaluation maintenance (SEM) model explains how individuals maintain self-esteem through social comparison.
  • Individual differences in motivation and self-esteem are crucial moderators in social comparison processes.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the impact of individual differences in affiliation motivation, achievement motivation, and self-esteem on the SEM model.
  • To determine how these individual differences influence self-evaluation based on academic achievements in relation to friends' achievements.

Summary:

  • 170 college students completed questionnaires assessing affiliation motivation, achievement motivation, and self-esteem.
  • Participants evaluated their own and friends' academic achievements in high and low relevancy subjects.
  • Findings indicate that high affiliative motivation, low achievement motivation, or low self-esteem lead to greater discrepancies between own and friends' achievements in low-relevancy subjects.

Impact:
