设计并执行了一系列的3项研究，以检验来自“社会比较过程理论”（Festinger，1954）的假设。一个假设测试是，平均的人不同于非平均（上级和下级）的人在能力评估依赖于社会比较。具体而言，据预测，一般人将更准确和稳定的自我评价。所有3项研究的结果都有力地支持了这一假设。能力被实验性地操纵。受试者在一系列试验中评估了他们在变速追击旋翼上的表现。在两项独立的研究中，无论是劣等和上级的主题是显着低于准确评估他们的表现比平均受试者。在一项研究中，只有上级受试者在评估性能时不太稳定。在第三项研究中，非平均受试者作出准确和稳定的评价，假设，当允许足够的社会比较的机会。
A series of 3 studies was designed and executed to test hypotheses derived from “A Theory of Social Comparison Processes” (Festinger, 1954). A hypothesis tested was that average persons differ from nonaverage (superior and inferior) persons in ability evaluations dependent on social comparison. Specifically, it was predicted that average persons would be more accurate and stable in self-evaluations. Results of all 3 studies strongly support the hypotheses. Ability was manipulated experimentally. Subjects evaluated their performance on a variable-speed pursuit rotor over a series of trials. In 2 separate studies, both inferior and superior subjects were significantly less accurate in evaluating their performance than were average subjects. In one study, superior subjects only were less stable in evaluating performance. In the third study, nonaverage subjects made accurate and stable evaluations, as hypothesized, when permitted adequate social comparison opportunities.
