Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Upward social comparison refers to comparing oneself to someone who is perceived to be better off or more successful in a particular domain. Comparing oneself to a role model fits this definition. Comparing oneself to an ideal form of oneself would be more of a downward comparison, as it relates to past or present versions of oneself. Comparing current skills to past skills is also not necessarily upward comparison, as it may not involve comparing oneself to anyone else. Comparing oneself to someone in a terrible situation would be a downward comparison.
