Ideal Self Comparison

Ideal Self Comparison is a psychological construct that refers to the cognitive process of evaluating one's current self against an internally envisioned, aspirational representation of the self, differing from related self-evaluation constructs by its focus on personal goals, desires, and future-oriented standards rather than social or past benchmarks.
