Previous research has linked social comparison feedback to improved motivation and performance. We propose, \n however, that such feedback has psychological costs that disproportionately impact women. Across six pre-registered \n studies, we show that social comparison feedback is more aversive and anxiety-inducing for women than for men. The \n effects persist after accounting for performance expectations and actual performance. Two mechanisms underlie women’s \n greater aversion to social comparison feedback: Compared to men, women are less competitive and more concerned that \n social comparisons will harm their relationships. Our findings extend social comparison research by distinguishing between \n self-initiated and externally imposed comparisons and documenting a novel gender difference. We discuss the hidden costs \n of a common feedback method and the need to consider gendered responses when designing feedback systems.
