Définition(s)

  • Social comparison is a theoretical model that examines psychological phenomena when an individual compares some aspect of the self—body image, for example—to that of others who may be actual, imagined, or implied. Leon Festinger, who is well known for developing cognitive dissonance theory, developed the theory of social comparison in 1954. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender in Media; Social Comparison Theory]
