Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adage "Birds of a feather flock together" has the most empirical support, as research has consistently shown that people tend to form relationships with those who are similar to them in some way (e.g. age, education level, personality traits, values). While there are some instances where "opposites attract," these tend to be the exception rather than the rule. "Similarity breeds contempt" is not supported by empirical evidence, as there is little research to suggest that similarity between partners leads to negative outcomes in relationships. Therefore, A) is the best choice.
