Two studies examined contingent self - esteem (CSE) and responses to appearance - related social comparisons. Study 1 was an experimental study in which women rated a series of advertisements from popular women’s magazines. Study 2 employed an event-contingent diary recording procedure. In Study 1, women who were higher in CSE and lower in self - perceptions of attractiveness (SPA) experienced greater decreases in positive affect and greater increases in negative affect following the ad - rating task. Study 2 results supported a mediation model in which women who were higher in CSE felt worse after social comparisons because they made primarily upward comparisons. Overall, results suggest that appearance - related comparisons are more distressing for those who base their self - worth on contingencies and have lower self - perceived attractiveness.
