This study examined liking and solidarity in interpersonal relationships. Participants were 226 undergraduates (89 men, 137 women; M age = 27.0) who identified (by initials) an individual with whom they had a recent interaction and referenced that interaction when completing Rubin's Liking Scale and Wheeless's Interpersonal Solidarity Scale. A correlation of .73 (p < .0001) was obtained between the scores on these scales, suggesting when individuals like one another, they report feelings of solidarity also.
