There are, however, only few studies addressing this topic with experimental designs. This study was aimed at closing this research gap by experimentally manipulating social comparative performance. Feedback given was based on 2 × 2 experimental conditions: social position (high vs. low) and average performance of the reference group (high vs. low). Results show a strong effect of social position on self-evaluation of performance and smaller effects on self-concept and task interest.}, language = {en} } @article{BoschWilbert2023, author = {Bosch, Jannis and Wilbert, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {The impact of social comparison processes on self-evaluation of performance, self-concept, and task interest}, series = {Frontiers in education}, volume = {8}, journal = {Frontiers in education}, publisher = {Frontiers Media}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {2504-284X}, doi = {10.3389/feduc.2023.1033488}, pages = {11}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Development of self-concept and task interest has been shown to be affected by social comparison processes in a variety of cross-sectional studies.
