From the perspective of implicit egotism people should gravitate toward others who resemble them because similar others activate people's positive, automatic associations about themselves. Four archival studies and 3 experiments supported this hypothesis. Studies 1-4 showed that people are disproportionately likely to marry others whose first or last names resemble their own. Studies 5-7 provided experimental support for implicit egotism. Participants were more attracted than usual to people (a) whose arbitrary experimental code numbers resembled their own birthday numbers, (b) whose surnames shared letters with their own surnames, and (c) whose jersey number had been paired, subliminally, with their own names. Discussion focuses on implications for implicit egotism, similarity, and interpersonal attraction.
从内隐自我主义的角度来看，人们应该会被与自己相似的人所吸引，因为相似的他人会激活人们对自己积极的、自动的联想。四项档案研究和三项实验支持了这一假设。研究1至4表明，人们与姓氏或名字与自己相似的人结婚的可能性极高。研究5至7为内隐自我主义提供了实验支持。参与者比平时更容易被以下几类人吸引：（a）随机实验编码数字与自己生日数字相似的人；（b）姓氏与自己姓氏有相同字母的人；（c）其运动衫号码在潜意识中与自己名字配对的人。讨论集中在内隐自我主义、相似性和人际吸引的影响方面。
