• Is actual similarity necessary for attraction? A meta-analysis of actual and perceived similarity (2008, background): “Alternatively, it is likely that just as perceived similarity leads to attraction, so does attraction lead to perceived similarity (Morry, 2005, 2007).”
• A Person-Environment Fit Approach to Volunteerism: Volunteer Personality Fit and Culture Fit as Predictors of Affective Outcomes (2008, background): “Moreover, these teams may show relatively high personality-fit of individual team members, because friends generally perceive to have more characteristics in common than nonfriends (Morry, 2007).”
• Beyond the “Like” Button: The Impact of Mere Virtual Presence on Brand Evaluations and Purchase Intentions in Social Media Settings (2012, background): “People tend to express affinity for those to whom they are similar (Lydon, Jamieson, and Zanna 1988; Morry 2007; Shachar and Emerson 2000).”
• Personality similarity, perceptual accuracy, and relationship satisfaction in dating and married couples (2012, background): “Given the cross-sectional design of the study, it cannot be excluded that satisfied couples become increasingly similar with time or that higher satisfaction predicts greater perceived similarity for traits (Morry, 2007).”
• Perceived, not actual, similarity predicts initial attraction in a live romantic context: Evidence from the speed-dating paradigm (2013, background): “It is quite possible that attraction also leads to a judgment of high general perceived similarity (Morry, 2005, 2007).”
