许多自我评价理论强调社会比较的力量。简而言之，一个人被认为是获得尊重时，她或他超过别人，失去尊重时，他或她被超越。本研究探讨了相互依赖的自我联想作为这些影响的调节剂。两个研究采用启动任务来操纵自我联想水平，并探讨了社会比较在二元情境（研究1）和群体情境（研究2）中的效应。这两项研究都表明，当比较的目标被理解为自我的一部分时，他或她的成功成为庆祝的理由，而不是尊重的代价。此外，性别差异在慢性关系和集体自我概念的调节模式的社会比较的形式类似的启动关系和集体自我概念。
Many theories of self-evaluation emphasize the power of social comparison. Simply put, an individual is thought to gain esteem whenever she or he outperforms others and to lose esteem when he or she is outperformed. The current research explored interdependent self-construal as a moderator of these effects. Two studies used a priming task to manipulate the level of self-construal and investigate effects of social comparison in dyadic (Study 1) and group situations (Study 2). Both studies demonstrated that when the target for comparison is construed as part of the self, his or her successes become cause for celebration rather than costs to esteem. Additionally, gender differences in chronic relational and collective self-construals moderated the patterns of social comparison in a form similar to that of priming relational and collective self-construals.
