Abstract

As with a number of useful ideas which have come to us, it will probably not surprise anyone that Aristotle said it first. Speaking about man, the "political (social) animal and his relations with others, he said, "Birds of a feather flock together." Empirical and experimental evidence support Aris- totle's assertion and further suggest that those "birds" have a "pecking order," and that "flocking together" makes "birds of a feather." Social scientific investigations since WW I have revealed that groups are formed and rank their members because of a similarity of norms, standards, and values of the group members. The description and measurement of such interpersonal relationships are the subject of this paper.
