“…A related question is whether the similarity effect operates to a similar degree for personality traits as it does for attitudes. Previous research found mixed results when investigating whether personality trait similarity leads to attraction: Some researchers detected a relation (e.g., McLaughlin, 1970; 1971), whereas others failed to (Hoffman & Maier, 1966; Katz, Cohen, & Castiglione, 1963; Reilly, Commins, & Stefic, 1960).…”

This research investigated two competing explanations of the similarity effect: Byrne’s (1971) reinforcement model and the information processing perspective. A meta-analysis of 240 laboratory-based similarity studies explored moderators important to the similarity effect, including set size, proportion of similarity, centrality of attitudes, and information salience. Results indicated effects for proportion of similarity, centrality of attitudes, and information salience, and were largely consistent with predictions of the information processing perspective. We discuss the implications of these findings for the two perspectives, for other models for the similarity effect, and for the role of affect and cognition in the experience of interpersonal attraction.

“…The observations of Katz, Cohen, and Castiglione (1963) on need satisfaction as an important component of marital adjustment and of positive perceptions of a spouse add support to the use of Murray's theory of needs. In another study Katz, Glucksberg, and Krauss (1960) found need satisfaction in marriage, for both husbands and wives, to be positively related to wives' scores on nurturance and succorance.…”

“…For example, in the Katz Version a statement of nurturance was, "I like to show a great deal of affection towards my spouse." Katz, Cohen, and Castiglione (1963) found an internal consistency of .64 for wives' nurturant scores.…”

“…Nurturance, in addition to eight other needs, was assessed by a personal preference schedule, adapted by Katz, Cohen, and Castiglione (1963) from the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (Edwards, 1959). This schedule was selected because it specifically dealt with nurturance needs in relation to interactions with the spouse.…”

“…Marital happiness has been investigated in many of the same studies that deal with complementarity of needs (Katz, Glucksberg, & Krauss, 1960;Katz, Cohen, & Castiglione, 1963;Buxbaum, 1967). These studies have shown that marital happiness is an important component of need satisfaction and that it is a correlative of positive perceptions of spouse.…”

Three major problems were investigated to determine if selected psychological needs of former mental patients' wives were related to {a) perceptions of their husbands" posthospital behavior, (b) This study was designed to determine if selected psychological needs of former mental patients' wives are related to (a) perceptions of their husbands' posthospital behavior, (b) ratings of recalled marital happiness both before and since their husbands' first hospitalization, and (c) expectations of their husbands' posthospital performance level. The Katz Personal Preference Schedule (KPPS) and a shortened version of the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) were used to measure wives' needs. The MACC Behavioral Adjustment Scale (MACC) and the Coping Style Scale (CSS) were used to measure wives' perceptions of their husbands' posthospital behavior. Perceptions were inferred from the difference (d) score obtained between wives' ratings of their husbands' behavior and the social workers' ratings of the husbands' behavior on the same scales (MACC and CSS). A Marital Happiness Scale was used to measure the wives' degree of stated marital happiness as recalled both before and since their husbands' first hospitalization for mental disability. The Expectation-Insistence Scale (EIS) was used to measure wives' expectations of their husbands' posthospital performance level. The results of this study indicated that both needs nurturance and abasement were significantly related to a bias in wives' perceptions of their husbands' posthospital be-
