Taylor 和 Lobel (1989) 的受到威胁的社会比较过程模型预测，向上的归属感（一种社会活动）可能有助于提高技能并在应对艾滋病毒方面找到灵感，而向下的评价（一种认知活动）可以通过将自己与不幸的人进行比较来帮助某人感觉更好。 HIV 感染者被随机分配，使用 3 x 3 析因设计，阅读关于 HIV 医疗预后和心理调整被描述为好、差或未指定的某人的九个小故事之一。参与者希望与身体状况良好的目标建立向上的联系，但他们希望避免心理状况不佳的目标。参与者还评价自己的身体状况比身体状况不佳的艾滋病毒感染者要好。研究结果可能有助于了解各种榜样在应对艾滋病毒方面的影响。
Taylor and Lobel's (1989) model of social comparison processes under threat predicts that upward affiliation (a social activity) may be useful to improve the skills and to find inspiration in coping with HIV, whereas downward evaluation (a cognitive activity) may assist someone to feel better by comparing oneself to a less fortunate person. Participants with HIV were randomly assigned, using a 3 x 3 factorial design, to read one of nine vignettes about someone whose HIV medical prognosis and psychological adjustment were described as good, poor or unspecified. Participants desired upward affiliation with a target doing well physically, but they wanted to avoid a target doing poorly psychologically. Participants also evaluated their own physical condition as better than a target coping poorly physically with HIV. The results may be useful in understanding the impact of various role models in coping with HIV.
