Implicit in the frame of reference hypothesis is the assumption that social comparison is one of the causal determinants of self-concept. The present study of Norwegian sixth-grade elementary school students showed that students of low-, medium-, and high-achievement classes did not differ in mathematics self-concept. Mathematics self-concept was, however, significantly influenced by the students' within-classroom position in mathematics. The results support the frame of reference hypothesis, and the support was consistent over gender.
参照系假设中隐含的一个假设是，社会比较是自我概念的因果决定因素之一。目前对挪威六年级小学生的研究表明，低成就班、中等成就班和高成就班的学生在数学自我概念上没有差异。然而，数学自我概念受到学生在课堂内数学成绩排名的显著影响。研究结果支持了参照系假设，并且这种支持在性别上是一致的。
