碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 心理學研究所 === 91 === In Taiwan, parents used to compare their children’s academic performance with each other. The comparison includes “who is better in academic performance”, “who is worst in academic performance”, and “demanding the children who did poorly to learn their sibling who did better in academic performance”. Such comparison is different from social comparison and forced comparison, because the subject of the comparison is parent and the object of the comparison is children. And then, it is named passive-third comparison . In this thesis, I studied three questions. First, to investigate the prevalence of the passive-third comparison. And then, to understand children’s emotion and cognition in the passive-third comparison. In the last, how children’s emotion and cognition in the passive-third comparison to influence sibling’s relationship. I take self-evaluation maintenance model to explore these questions. Moreover, I conducted two studies to test the hypothesis. There are three main findings. First, the passive-third comparison in Taiwan are high prevalence. Second, children in the passive-third comparison feel more other-focused emotion(eg. shame and embarrassed) and think of other-focused thought. The last is children’s emotion and cognition in the passive-third comparison could influence sibling relationship. However, the findings are different from the past studies in USA. Therefore, to discuss these findings are from culture view.
