When Opposites Attract: Incorporating Trait Complementarity Into the Measurement of Self-Brand Personality Alignment
This study reveals for the first time the existence of a complementarity or ‘opposites attract’ configuration in self-brand alignment. It also devises an original technique for incorporating complementarity configuration into an alignment measure. Tests reveal the measure compares favourably with existing self-congruence measures in terms of predicting behavioural outcomes.
