This study aimed to examine the relationship between social comparison orientation and subjective well-being along with the mediating effect of self-concept clarity moderated by public self-consciousness. A self-report survey was completed by 152 adults between the ages of 20 and 40 in Korea, and data from 150 people were analyzed. First, the results showed significant correlations between social comparison orientation, subjective well-being, self-concept clarity, and public self-consciousness. Second, self-concept clarity showed a full mediating effect on the relationship between social comparison orientation and subjective well-being. Third, public self-consciousness moderated the indirect effect of social comparison orientation on subjective well-being via self-concept clarity. Based on these results, the implications and limitations of the study are discussed.
