Understanding the Social Comparison Bias

We tend to determine our own social and personal worth based on how we stack up against others. This bias shapes our self-perception and the perception of others. It can lead to feelings of false inadequacy or, the opposite, false superiority.

In this episode of Cognition Catalog, we explore how to identify a mature designer and dig into the social comparison bias that can affect team dynamics and individual performance. Learn about upward and downward comparisons, the impact of social media on self-perception, and strategies to foster a healthier work environment.
