supplementary fit refers to the similarity between characteristics of a person and characteristics of the environment, or other persons within the environment (kristof, 1996; muchinsky & monahan, 1987). based on compatibility that derives from similarity (kristof-brown & guay, 2011), a person fits into some environmental context because he/she supplements, embellishes, or possesses characteristics that are similar to other individuals in the environment (kristof-brown & guay, 2011). people perceive themselves as fitting in because they are like or similar to other people possessing the same characteristics (tomoki, 2004). therefore, it is essentially a model of a person-person fit (muchinsky & monahan,1987).
