ABSTRACT
In a series of studies conducted in the USA and Poland, we found that vegetarianism can serve as a basis for the formation of personal relationships. Consistent with research on the similarity-attraction effect, we found that vegetarians were more likely than omnivores to have friends and lovers who were vegetarians. In study 1, vegetarians reported that their diets were a more important part of their identities than omnivores did. In studies 2, 3, and 4, we found that vegetarians were three to six times more likely to have vegetarian friends than omnivores were. In study 4, we found that vegetarians were 12 times more likely to have romantic partners who were vegetarians than omnivores were. These results suggest that following a vegetarian or an omnivorous diet is an important influence on an individual’s choice of relational partners, possibly because dietary choice is part of an individual’s social identity.

朋友和恋人的饮食相似性:素食主义、杂食主义和人际关系
摘要
在美国和波兰进行的一系列研究中,我们发现素食主义可以作为建立人际关系的基础。与对相似性吸引效应的研究一致,我们发现素食者比杂食者更有可能拥有素食者的朋友和恋人。在研究 1 中,素食者报告说他们的饮食比杂食者更重要。在研究 2、3 和 4 中,我们发现素食者拥有素食朋友的可能性是杂食者的三到六倍。在研究 4 中,我们发现素食者的浪漫伴侣是素食者的可能性是杂食者的 12 倍。这些结果表明,遵循素食或杂食饮食对个人选择关系伴侣有重要影响,
