What will be an ideal response?
Students might compare their athletic ability, relational success, or their grades
on a test to see how they measure up to others. People tend to respond negatively when
others perform better, experience more success, or receive higher grades. They may also
compensate by comparing themselves to those who performed at a lower level of
success -- "Well, at least I did better than them!"
