Social Psychology Affect Fluency Mere exposure Pro-social Previous research indicates that repeated mere exposure creates a diffuse feeling of positivity. Further, individuals induced to feel positive are more likely to help. Thus, repeated exposure should produce later helping behavior, even if the exposed stimulus is not relevant to the help-seeking target. In Experiment 1, participants were asked to help a target either after subliminal repeated exposure to the target, subliminal repeated exposure to a non-target, or non-repeated subliminal exposure. Counter to predictions, I found increased helping only after exposure to a relevant target. Experiment 2 examined the possible effect of delay between exposure and help solicitation on Experiment 1’s results, but failed to replicate the findings of Experiment 1 or produce any meaningful results of its own. Implications of these results and ideas for future research are discussed. 2011-05-12 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1305136074 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1305136074 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
