Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents are at a developmental stage where they are more concerned with their social standing and identity, and therefore, are more likely to engage in social comparison. Children may engage in social comparison, but to a lesser extent than adolescents. Adolescents also tend to compare themselves to their peers who are similar to them in terms of age, gender, and background, rather than those who are different. While not all adolescents may freely admit to engaging in social comparison, it is a common and normal behavior at this stage of development.
