Document Summary

Mere exposure effect the finding that more exposure we must a stimulus the more we apt to like it: familiarity leads to attraction regardless of whether its face to face or online. Online friendships more likely to be formed by introverted people who lack in social skills: the more exposure you have to someone you dislike the more you dislike them. Similarity attraction to people who are like us: draws us together more than complementarily. Important for friendships and romantic relationships: tend to think that people are like us will be more inclined to like us. Perceived similarity is more important than actual similarity. Complementarily attraction to people who are opposite to us. Reciprocal liking when you like someone and that person also likes you: one of the prime determinants of interpersonal attraction. Can make up for the absence of similarity and only occur if you like yourself.
