- Growing Followers: Exploring the Effects of Leader Humility on Follower Self‐Expansion, Self‐Efficacy, and Performance (2018, unknown): “…similarity “would seem to bear very directly on one’s projections for the quality of relational life with the potential partner . . ., (while) the effects of similarity of attitudes or personality would seem less obviously relevant to projected day-to-day interactions” (Aron et al., 2006, p. 389).”
- Interpersonal Similarity as a Social Distance Dimension: Implications for Perception of Others' Actions. (2008, background): “Moreover, the present analysis may explain what is sometimes considered an exception to the similarity– attraction relationship, namely, cases in which ‘‘opposites attract” (Aron et al., 2006; Dryer & Horowitz, 1997; Heider, 1958; O’Leary & Smith, 1991).”
