Similarity-Attraction Theory.

Explanation:

The theory of similarity-attraction suggests that people are most likely to be attracted to those who have shared interests. This body has been researched by many researchers and scholars such as Ellen Berscheid, Donn Byrne, etc.

In 1971, Byrnne came up with a theory of 'Law of attraction' which was further studied by many scholars and researchers.
