Mit dorm study: you are more likely to be friends with you dependin g in the closeness to your dorm. Research on mere-exposure: had an actor sit in the front row of a lecture and at the end of the semester, the students were asked how likeable the actor was. They found that the more the students saw him, the more they liked him. Friends like the mirror image but you like the flipped mirror image because you see your face in the mirror more than you see your face. We like people who are similar to us. Research shows that we like people who are like us because it shows that the way we are is good. Opposites attract works for: traits of dominance and submissiveness, We pick up subtle cues of liking.
