Equity theory involves comparing oneself to others. The comparison categories are self-inside (past experiences), self-outside (other aspects of one's life), other-inside (the individual being compared to), and other-outside (others who are not being directly compared to). "Self-goal" is not a relevant comparison category in equity theory.
