I thought the the claim that people seek out similarity was very well supported in the article.
The claim that different people make better friends was interesting, but in my opinion not nearly as well supported. I would genuinely love to see more hard data behind that claim.
- rockarage 15y agoI agree, there was no data presented to suggest that the students in the smaller colleges were not very similar. Moreover it is more likely that the students in the small colleges are very similar, typically people won't travel to another state to attend a small community college.
- j_baker 15y agoI think the author's point still stands: there's little evidence to support that similarity seeking is beneficial, and some evidence that it might even be harmful.
