Resumen
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo estudiar la relación entre orientación a la
comparación social (OCS), autoestima y satisfacción con la vida en un grupo de 82
estudiantes universitarios de Lima Metropolitana. Se les aplicó las versiones en español de la
Escala de Orientación a la Comparación Social (INCOM), la Escala de Autoestima de
Rosenberg versión en español (EAR) y la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS), así
como una ficha de datos sociodemográficos. Los resultados indicaron que hubo una
correlación significativa y negativa entre orientación a la comparación social y la autoestima
(r = -.34, p < .01), y una correlación significativa y positiva entre la autoestima y satisfacción
con la vida (r = .55, p < .01), además de no encontrar una correlación entre esta última y
OCS. Asimismo, se realizaron comparaciones de medias según sexo y edad, encontrando
diferencias significativas en la satisfacción con la vida, en donde las mujeres reportaron
mayores niveles que los hombres, y en OCS, donde las personas menores de 29 años
obtuvieron un mayor índice. Estos resultados indican que a mayor tendencia a compararse
con otras personas, menor autoestima en las personas y viceversa. Esto podría volverse
relevante en períodos de incertidumbre, donde las personas experimentan una mayor
necesidad de compararse.
The purpose of this research was to study the relationship between social comparison orientation (SCO), self-esteem and life satisfaction in a group of 82 university students from Lima, Perú. The participants completed Spanish versions of Scale for Social Comparison Orientation (INCOM), the Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (EAR), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), alongside a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results indicated that there was a significant and negative correlation between SCO and self-esteem (r = -.34, p < .01), and a significant and positive correlation between self-esteem and life satisfaction (r = .55, p < .01), besides not finding a correlation between the latter with social comparison orientation. Likewise, comparisons of means according to sex and age groups were made and significant differences were found in life satisfaction, where women reported higher levels of satisfaction than men, and in OCS, where people younger than 29 had a higher OCS. These results indicate that the greater the tendency to compare oneself with other people, the lower levels of people's self-esteem and the other way around. This could become relevant during pandemic context or similar situations of social uncertainty, since people have a greater need to compare themselves with others.
