Contemporary Youth Perception of Similarities and Differences in Self-Peer Relations
Abstract
This article is devoted to theoretical considerations and research on the process of interpersonal comparison, which is based on the perception of similarity and distinction along the line I – other people, through the self – discovery which helps crystallize one’s own identity. The analysis refers to the youth category, as interpersonal comparisons are particularly intense in adolescence, when individuals are aware of their distinct shape of personal and social identity, making self-assessment on the basis of information about themselves whose source are other people. Research showed a positive image of students as shown to their peers; students confirmed the image of youth as an age group that sees itself as being valuable and having a number of socially desirable traits, a social group representing perspective the driving force of modern society. At the same time it revealed a tendency to emphasize the young people’s individuality and separateness against peers and the propensity for portraying themselves in a more favorable light as compared to evaluate their peers.
