When it comes to romantic partners, do "opposites attract" or do "birds of a feather flock together"? Cite research to support your answer and explain why
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
- Birds of a feather flock together for individuals in emerging adulthood as well as for those in other points of the life span. Relationships that last tend to be similar in personality, ethnicity, religion, intelligence, and physical attractiveness.
- Similarity breeds contentment because of consensual validation, the notion that others who are the same on a number of characteristics reaffirms the way people see the world.
