The present invention provides a selective adhesion method and a self-assembly method for macroscale materials based on molecular recognition. One or more host bodies formed from a macromolecule having one or more host groups on the side chains, and one or more guest bodies formed from a macromolecule having one or more guest groups on the side chains are vibrated in a solvent to selectively form an assembly.

A pressure sensitive adhesive composition containing a multimer of modified cyclodextrin; a pressure sensitive adhesive obtained from the pressure sensitive adhesive composition; and a pressure sensitive adhesive sheet having a pressure sensitive adhesive layer formed of the pressure sensitive adhesive. The multimer of modified cyclodextrin is preferably a dimer. The pressure sensitive adhesive is preferably an acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive and, in particular, preferably contains a crosslinked product obtained by crosslinking a (meth)acrylic ester polymer using a crosslinker.
