Close friends, think alike?
“What! You, too? I believed I was the only one.” Have you ever said something like this to someone? 1
It seems that similarity (相似点) often helps develop friendship. The Greek thinker Aristotle once said, “People regard friendship as a matter of similarity; they say that we love those who are like ourselves.” 2 Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.
The scientists invited university students to take part in a test. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. At the same time, scientists scanned (扫描) their brains and recorded their brain activity. According to their scans, friends who watched the same video reacted (反应) in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially the parts that were connected with motivation (动机), learning and memory. 3 “Seeing one’s friends have similar brains will reinforce (强化) one’s own values, opinions, and interests.” A scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider. 4 Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. The scientists did a test with first-year college students who they met in class for the first time. In this test, students who sat in neighboring seats were more likely to become friends.
