Three studies examined the influence of comparison referent exposure (i.e., the frequency with which one views comparison referents) on evaluations of the ability of a target person (either oneself or antoher person). In Experiment 1, participants perfroemd a task and then viewed performances of both upward and downward refernts. Participants who saw more perfromances by the upward referents than the downward referents evaluted their own performances less favorably did than participants who saw more perfromances by the downward referents than the upward referents. Experiment 2 produced similar findings, showing that comparison exposure also influences people's evaluations about someone other than themselves. In Experiment 3, comparison-exposure effects were significantly reduced when participants were instructed to think deliberatively about the comparison information, consistent with the idea that people typically rely on imprecise representations of comparison information even when they are capable of forming more precise representations from memory if motivated to do so.
