Resumo(s)
Given that familiarity is closely associated with positivity, the
authors sought evidence for the idea that positivity would
increase perceived familiarity. In Experiment 1, smiling and
thus positively perceived novel faces were significantly more
likely to be incorrectly judged as familiar than novel faces with
neutral expressions. In Experiment 2, subliminal association
with positive affect (a positively valenced prime) led to false recognition
of novel words as familiar. In Experiment 3, validity
judgments, known to be influenced by familiarity, were more
likely to occur if participants were in happy mood states than
neutral mood states. Despite their different paradigms and
approaches, the results of these three studies converge on the idea
that, at least under certain circumstances, the experience of
positivity itself can signal familiarity, perhaps because the
experience of familiarity is typically positive.
