AB - The current study investigated the social comparison of 5- to 6-year-old Korean children. Children chose one of two options in which distributions had already been made between participating children and anonymous children. In the disadvantageous inequality condition, the children had to choose the disadvantageous inequality option (2:3) or the equality option (1:1). In the advantageous inequality condition, the children had to choose the advantageous inequality option (1:0) or the equality option (2:2). We also measured the mothers’ face culture orientation, social comparison, Machiavellianism, and empathy. In the disadvantageous inequality condition, the children were more likely to choose the equality option when the magnitude of the difference between the distributions was large, than when the magnitude of the difference was small. In the advantageous inequality condition, the children were more likely to choose the advantageous inequality option than they were in the control condition. These results demonstrate that 5- to 6-year-old Korean children have social comparison concern. The social comparison orientation of the children was related to the psychological factors pertaining to their mother; a high level of face culture orientation, high desire for status and low level of personal distress. The current study provides experimental evidence with regard to the social comparison of Korean children as well as useful information about the caregiver as an influential factor in this process.
