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).”
Is actual similarity necessary for attraction? A meta-analysis of actual and perceived similarity (2008, background): “…has been hypothesized to result from the aforementioned false consensus bias (Ross et al., 1977), balance theory (Heider, 1958; Newcomb, 1968), the belief that relationship partners are supposed to be similar to one another (Morry, 2005, 2007), or using the self as a reference point (Rosch, 1975).”
Show me your friends and I will tell you what type of person you are: How one's profile, number of friends, and type of friends influence impression formation on social network sites (2010, background): “According to the similarity-attraction hypotheses, people are attracted by similar others (Burleson & Denton, 1992; Byrne, 1969; Morry, 2005; Selfhout et al., 2009).”
Multiple Mechanisms of Prime‐to‐Behavior Effects (2009, background): “For example, because disliked others are more likely to be perceived to be different from and discrepant from oneself (Morry, 2005), primes representing disliked others are more likely to generate contrast in the active self-concept and behavior (cf.

Love at first sight or friends first? Ties among partner personality trait similarity, relationship onset, relationship quality, and love (2007, background): “This possibility refers to the so called attraction-similarity hypothesis (e.g., Morry, 2005) which, in contrast to the similarity-attraction hypothesis, states that projection of the self onto the other person, in ongoing relationships, may lead to increased perceptions of similarity.”
