It is a natural feature of the social world that people evaluate themselves relative to others. In this dissertation, I consider two ways in which such evaluations are influenced by psychological distance. Part I examines the conditions under which people expand their "comparative scope"---the range of targets they deem informative for comparison. Drawing on construal level theory (Liberman & Trope, 2014; Trope & Liberman, 2010), which describes the way in which people transcend the here-and-now, I show that when people are comparing to distant others, they tend to focus on abstract ("high level") information. This work suggests that distance doesn't render social comparison targets less impactful, it just changes the type of information that is compared. The results have implications for what comparisons to near versus distant others teach people about themselves.

520 $a It is a natural feature of the social world that people evaluate themselves relative to others. In this dissertation, I consider two ways in which such evaluations are influenced by psychological distance. Part I examines the conditions under which people expand their "comparative scope"---the range of targets they deem informative for comparison. Drawing on construal level theory (Liberman & Trope, 2014; Trope & Liberman, 2010), which describes the way in which people transcend the here-and-now, I show that when people are comparing to distant others, they tend to focus on abstract ("high level") information. This work suggests that distance doesn't render social comparison targets less impactful, it just changes the type of information that is compared. The results have implications for what comparisons to near versus distant others teach people about themselves.
520 $a Part II examines another consequence of psychological distance in comparison---namely, increasing people's sensitivity to "diagnosticity" in social comparison. Research has shown that people's self-evaluations may be influenced by comparison information---even when such information is not "diagnostic," such as when a comparison target has been given an unfair advantage. Because psychological distancing strategies and their attendant high level construals can help people structure and organize information, they may aid people in distinguishing comparison information that is more or less diagnostic. Five experiments, across three different tasks and three manipulations of psychological distance, confirm this prediction. The results suggest that psychological distance may lead people to transcend the influence of nondiagnostic social comparisons, ultimately helping them lead more authentic lives.
