Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erving Goffman proposed the concept of the presentation of self, but it was actually Elaine Hatfield (not listed in the options) who is most closely associated with the development of the matching hypothesis. However, since none of the provided options are correct and Erving Goffman is the only sociologist among the options who has made significant contributions to sociology, it might be a confusion or mistake in the question. The matching hypothesis itself, which suggests that people are more likely to form and succeed in a committed relationship with someone who is equally socially desirable, is not directly attributed to Goffman. This answer is based on the options provided, but please note the clarification regarding the actual association with the matching hypothesis.
