Results from Study 1 (n=87 coaches) indicate that actual demographic differences were reliably related to perceptions of such differences. Study 2 investigated the effects of perceived demographic dissimilarity. Data were gathered from an additional 175 coaches. Structural equation modeling indicated that perceived demographic differences were associated with perceived deep-level dissimilarity (i.e., differences in personality, values, and attitudes). In turn, perceived deep-level dissimilarity was negatively related to coworker satisfaction and held a positive association with organizational turnover intentions. Results are discussed in terms of theoretical contributions to the relational demography perspective.
