Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that people tend to be attracted to and form friendships with others who are similar to themselves in terms of values, beliefs, and attitudes. Russ, as a liberal philosophy major, is likely to have more in common with Emily, who is also a philosophy major and a college Democrat. They are likely to have similar political beliefs and interests, which would facilitate the formation of a friendship. While it is possible that Russ could become friends with someone who has different beliefs and interests, such as George or Wilamena, the research suggests that it is less likely to happen.
