The mere exposure effect is the tendency for people to develop a preference for familiar things and people. This preference can occur when an individual has no information beyond visual familiarity. For example, customers may assume that a brand they have seen before is better than a brand they have never seen. The mere exposure effect also extends to people. In many cases, people will trust those they have seen a few times over a complete stranger. This is considered somewhat irrational because it occurs despite having no information beyond visual recognition. |
