Abstract
A survey was conducted to explore potential relationships between various dimensions of personal and social self-concept with one’s social comparison orientation. The survey was a combination of 4 scales measuring 9 total dimensions such as self-fulfilment, social comparison tendencies, self-esteem etc. 82 responses were collected and after testing for correlations; 21 statistically significant correlations were found, such as a negative correlation between one’s sense of autonomy and social comparison orientation, though most of them were weak and moderate and no strong correlation among any of the 9 dimensions was found. Tests for gender and age differences were also conducted, with no statistically significant differences found. This exploratory survey analysis can help provide some guidance for potential avenues of investigation for larger studies on Self-Concept and Social Comparison Orientation.
