This volume identifies research relevant to the communal functions of social comparisons. Previous work in the area has concerned ways that people differ from one another, focusing on competition, independence and self-esteem. This book, in contrast, presents an eclectic cross-section of research that illuminates the connective, cooperative and participatory functions of social comparisons.
