Social Comparison

There are specifically two kinds of social comparison: Upward and Downward. Upward social comparison is defined as comparing ourselves to people we think are better than us while downward social comparison compares ourselves to people we believe we are better than. This theory is called the Social Comparison theory and was created by psychologist Leon Festinger.
