Select one item from your list that you believe developed because of social comparison.

In this essay, you are analyzing your self-concept based on the data you gathered in Part I.  This must look like and read like an essay. You should include the following information:

  • Were you surprised by any of the information that you discovered from your rankings? From the rankings of the others? Why or why not? Use specific examples.
  • Select on item from your list that you believe is related to reflected appraisal**. Explain how that item is related to your self image, how it contributes to self-appraisal, and how it developed (e.g., who did the reflected appraisal come from? One person? Several people? What was that person a significant other?), giving specific examples.
  • Select one item from your list that you believe developed because of social comparison. Social comparison happens when you select a reference group (e.g., your first grade classmates) and compare yourself to them. Explain how the item you selected is connected to social comparisons, giving specific examples.
  • What insight to yourself did you gain through this assignment?

This reaction essay must be a minimum of one full page.  You should include more detail than just answering the questions above (e.g., “No, I wasn’t surprised” will not suffice as an answer to the first item.)  This essay should follow the standard mechanics of a college essay.
