This project provides a data access file for the following study.<br><br>What Matters When? Social and Dimensional Comparisons in the Context of University Major Choice<br><br>Students compare their achievement to different standards in order to evaluate their ability. We built upon the theoretical frameworks of situated expectancy-value theory, dimensional comparison theory, and the big-fish-little-pond effect literature to examine the role of social and dimensional comparisons for ability self-concept and subjective task value (STV) in secondary school and university major choice. We used two German longitudinal datasets from different cohorts with data collection in 12th grade and 2 years after high school graduation (Study 1: N = 2207; Study 2: N = 1710). Dimensional and social comparisons predicted students’ self-concept and domain-specific STV in school: Individual achievement was positively related to ability self-concept and STV in the corresponding domain and negatively related in the non-corresponding domain. School-level mean achievement was negatively related to ability self-concept and STV in the corresponding domain. Dimensional comparisons were directly related to university major choice, social comparisons were only indirectly related.<br>
