The Effect Of Social Comparison On Self-group Risk Decisions-making In Intergroup Contexts

In our lives often face some familiar life dialogue,when children go to school,parents with friends around to compare children’s performance,after the child graduation ratio is how children work to how to marriage,the retirement ratio Whose children are more obedient.This fully reflects the life "compare" the importance and universality.Social comparison can be said almost inevitable social interaction factor(Brickman &Bulman,1977).In recent years,scholars have come to realize that the impact of social factors on decision-making and attempts were discussed.It can be said,considering the influence of social factors on human decision-making to a more realistic study of human decision-making behavior has a very important significance.Effects of social comparison on individual risk decision-making has been confirmed by some studies,but there is little research and the results are inconsistent.Therefore,this study starting from intergroup context and perspective of the role of decision-makers,to select a different experimental tasks and subjects,to further explore the social comparison of self-influence risk decision-making groups.In study 1,using a simple gambling task to verify the social comparison of individual self-outgroup under Scenario-affected groups risk decisions.In Study 2,using the same experimental studiesdemonstrate the social mission a comparison of individual self at the scene within the population-affected groups risk decisions.Three and four research study is based on the above study,discusses the comparison of the effects on risk decision-making mechanism of the social group under the international situation using different experimental tasks.The results showed that:(1)outside the group context,social comparison significant impact on the individual risk decision,specifically with respect to the downward social comparison,participants in the upward social comparison condition is more risk seeking.Role of decision makers significant impact on the individual risk decision-making,manifested in their decision to seek the most risk for their most risk-averse decision-making.Comparison of social interaction and decision-makers a significant role.(2)including the group context,social comparison there is no significant impact on the risk of individual decisions,namely upstream and downstream social comparison compare social impact of differences in risk decision-making was not significant.Role of decision makers significant impact on the individual risk decision-making,manifested in their decision to seek the most risk for their most risk-averse decision-making.Comparison of social interaction and decision-makers a significant role.(3)the results of three studies showed that under outgroup scenarios,using different experimental tasks,choose different effects of socialcomparison on individual risk decision-making after the test groups remained significant.Differences in risk decision making significant decision-makers.Comparison of social interaction and decision-makers a significant role.And self-esteem plays an intermediary role between social comparison and risk decisions.(4)study of four results show that,under the in-group scenario,after using different experimental tasks,select different subjects groups,social comparison effects on individual risk decisions are not significant,influence decision makers the role of the risk of making significant,there was an interaction between the two.And self-esteem plays an intermediary role between social comparison and risk decisions.
