When Julie compares her husband George to her friend’s husband Sam she can’t help but notice that Sam is better is better at helping his children with homework. But rather than be upset about George’s shortcomings in the children’s homework arena, Julie reasons that since she enjoys doing homework with their children, it’s not that important that George do it. What Julie has just done is protect her partner (and their relationship!) from the negative implications of her own comparison.

Four studies (N = 2,210) using recalled (Studies 1-3) and actual (Study 4) comparisons about attractiveness (Study 1) and relationship skills (Studies 2-4) demonstrated that individuals high in self-other overlap decrease domain relevance following upward but not downward comparisons to protect their positive partner perceptions.
