Abstract
In two studies (N = 488), we examined whether negative effects of sibling comparisons are exaggerated among individuals whose self-worth is contingent on parental approval. In Study 1, participants who made spontaneous references to parents (35%) when describing a time they were outperformed by a sibling (i.e., made an upward comparion) also recalled more negative effects of these comparisons on their self-evaluations. In Study 2, participants with higher parental-contingent self-worth reported lower self-evaluations after recalling an upward comparison to a sibling, but not after recalling a downward comparison. These results suggest preoccupation with parental regard plays an important role in social comparison processes between siblings and can exacerbate the negative outcomes of threatening upward sibling comparisons on the self.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
