摘要：
Dimensional Comparison Theory assumes that dimensional comparisons (internal comparisons between one's characteristics in two domains) not only take place in the academic domain but also in other areas of life when individuals form their domain-specific self-evaluations. Based on this theory, the present study examines hints on dimensional comparisons between the personality areas "agency" (competitiveness, assertiveness) and "communion" (empathy, agreeableness) longitudinally. The sample consisted of N = 507 high school students from 8th to 10th grade and their 30 corresponding teachers. Agency and communion showed relatively strong stability over time. Prior agency revealed negative effects on subsequent communion, indicating dimensional comparisons. Overall, our results support the assumption of contrastive within-person effects in accordance with Dimensional Comparison Theory.
