Prior research suggests that people can protect their self - esteem by construing upward comparisons with outgroup members as non - self - relevant. In the present experiments, the authors hypothesized that only dominant group members use such a self - protection strategy. This hypothesis was confirmed in three experiments (N = 293) comparing dominant and subordinate - status groups exposed to upward versus downward social comparisons with ingroup or outgroup members. The results also showed that dominant group members suffered from upward comparisons with ingroup members, whereas subordinate group members did not. For the latter, ingroup identification appeared to be a self - protection strategy. Group status may be a potential moderator of the tendency to adopt particular self - protection strategies against upward comparisons.
