- The mere exposure effect is considered to have enormous adaptive significance and can impact human attractions and attachments.
- The effect can promote liking for the familiar but also lead to wariness of the unfamiliar, potentially explaining automatic prejudice.
- Advertisers and politicians exploit the mere exposure effect by using repetition to increase sales or votes.
- Physical attractiveness is a significant factor in dating, but other qualities and emotional connections play a vital role in forming relationships.
- Studies have shown that a person's physical attractiveness can predict how frequently they date.
