Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kubitscheck and Halliman found that tracking led to propinquity (physical proximity) which in turn increased the likelihood of friendship formation based on similarity (shared academic ability). Option A is incorrect because communication was not identified as the main factor. Option C is partially correct in that it mentions reciprocated liking, but does not include the important role of propinquity. Option D is incorrect because it implies a focus on social exchange, which was not the main focus of the study.
