"New research revealed that self-essentialist reasoning, the belief in an inner core that influences personal preferences, can govern how we relate to others. People who subscribe to this belief tend to form stronger connections with those having similar interests, but could risk overlooking meaningful relationships based on minor differences."
" ... [The phenomenon known as the similarity-attraction effect: we generally like people who are like us. Now, new findings from a Boston University researcher have uncovered one reason why.
In a series of studies, Charles Chu, a BU Questrom School of Business assistant professor of management and organizations, tested the conditions that shape whether we feel attracted to—or turned off by—each other. He found one crucial factor was what psychologists call self-essentialist reasoning, where people imagine they have some deep inner core or essence that shapes who they are."
