Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This study investigated the boundary condition of the mere exposure effect using facial stimuli of emotional expressions. Subjects were exposed to faces of angry, happy, or sad expressions, 1,3, or 6 times and then were asked to rate how much they liked the faces that were re-presented either with the original or neutral expressions. The liking rating was increased as a function of the number of exposures only for happy faces and only when the original expressions were re-presented. The results suggest that the mere exposure effect of a face is superficially bound to the very picture actually presented and that it may not be easily realized for faces of negative affect.
