Social comparison and self-discrepancy theories impact self-concept and self-esteem, influencing communication and behavior through judgments of self-worth.

Just as each of us influences the group and the people in the group, so, too, do groups change each one of us. Joining groups satisfies our need to belong, gain information and understanding through social comparison, define our sense of self and social identity, and achieve goals that might elude us if we worked alone.
