Abstract:
Frame of reference models assume that both, social and intraindividual (= << dimensional >>) comparisons affect the academic self-concept. Comparing one's achievement in a domain A with lower achievement in another domain B (dimensional downward comparison) is expected to lead to an increased academic self-concept concerning A, whereas upward comparisons will lead to decreases. The hypotheses were tested in two experiments in which faked performance feedback was used and task-specific self-concepts were assessed. There were effects of dimensional comparisons concerning the task-specific self-concept. Experiment 2 showed positive effects of dimensional downward comparisons as well as negative effects of dimensional upward comparisons.
