you know what, I’ve seen so many gifsets of this man on my dash (probably bc of you) that his face is starting to grow on me

I'm assuming you're talking about Kim Young-dae. This is called the "mere exposure effect"

The mere-exposure effect is a psychological phenomenon by which people tend to develop liking or disliking for things merely because they are familiar with them.

Here, have some more exposure:

Suffering from mere-exposure-effect.

I was on the second rehearsal as a singer today. I totally hate my voice! Is the some trick to get over it?

Can't believe they actually WANT me in this band.

maybe if i stare at a photo of him long enough, the butterflies in my stomach will subside as i become familiar with his face. his flaws. but maybe that’ll only amplify my feelings ���️

googles how to experience the utter cessation of all desire and ultimate submission to the cruel mechanics of document writing and being hazed

The Freshmen by the Verve Pipe is the most shoko, geto, gojo coded song i’ve ever heard

someone sedate me.

really feeling that "i have no opinion about this celebrity as a person and i have no interest in their work but if i have to keep hearing about them im going to kill someone"

there is so much new stuff now and I have no idea what's going on and I love it. it's like when I first joined tumblr but I have a general idea of what to expect and I'm a lesbian now

speaking of false memories i am Plagued with, sometimes i get memories of doing somerhing in some fictional world as someone else and it's so vivid that i just assume it's true

once i nearly skipped class because once when i was speaking to a friend i suddenly got a memory that i was Alastor Hazbin Hotel and i was tending to the hotel before leaving to meet said friend

and when my friend left to go to class i was like "alrighty then‼️" and proceeded to nearly leave campus so i could go back to the hotel and do my hotelier duties and i was just standing there awkwardly at some point like "why am i not teleporting back to the hotel i am trying to teleport to the hotel" and then i caught myself like . WHAT HOTEL . YOU ARE NOT IN HELL. my brother in christ you are supposed to be IN SEMINAR. WHERE ARE YOU GOING. GET UR ASS BACK TO CLASS ‼️‼️‼️‼️

another time i had a memory someone entered the hotel for redemption while i was sitting at the bar and then i stood up and they were like "wow you're way taller than i thought" and when i realised it wasn't real it was highkey the first time i've ever gotten height dysphoria over not being taller. usually i wish i'm shorter than i am (i'm pleasantly average heighted) it was so strange

If these memories keep plaguing me i am Going To Make A Fool Of Myself .

i literally can't ship sasuke with anyone except sakura or naruto.

maaayybe suigestu if i want to think of a fun silly oneshot but that's it (the more i think about it, it becomes more of a fanart than a oneshot lol)

the sasuke in my head can only spare romantic feelings for naruto or sakura, there's no one else for him in the entire fucking world

[kimtranssexler]

Okay fine he’s hot

you like it and it's unfamiliar, and then suddenly it's familiar too and you love it (comment courtesy of @earhartsease)

.

as you get used to a sound, it get's easier to process, and the easier-to-process a stimuli is, the more you like it (processing fluency hypothesis) (comment courtesy of @detectivejenko)

.

My logic's always been that it takes time for me to process all the different sounds (and the lyrics if the song has any), once I've done that I can appreciate them as a whole, if not they sound a bit jumbled (comment courtesy of @coffee-addict-kitten)

.

Your brain learns just enough of the patterns to get a feel for the song overall, so it starts to appreciate the deeper parts of the music that aren't as obvious upon first listen. You'll notice that it works in the opposite way for super catchy music. (comment courtesy of @despondent-beauty)

.

The mere exposure effect also works on people - this is why you are more likely to be friends with the people you hang out with every day, be it coworkers or high school classmates etc (comment courtesy of @selkienight60)

.

its because you found a character to imagine an AMV to it with (comment courtesy of @orchuris)

.

Listen 1-2: gaging the overall vibes, possibly assessing the band's overall style if its your first time listening to that band, or judging its vibes compared to other songs from the band if they are familiar to you.

Listens 3-5: pouring over the lyrics for narrative substance, trying to decide of you morally agree with the song's messages. Also checking for how well the instrumentation supports the themes of the song, and if the pacing of the rhythm and melody either matches or contrasts that messaging enough to make a meaningful harmony between the two.

Listen 6: recontextualizing the song for how you want to listen to it in the future; if you were to put that song on a Playlist, would it be a "chill study" or a "hard-core party" mix? Often the reason why we don't vibe with a song on initial listening is because we simply heard it in a time or a place where it didn't match the energy you were hoping a certain, different type of music would bring.

Listen 7: True enjoyment. You know the melody, the meaning behind the lyrics, and you have made a conscious choice to play it in a setting that compliments those elements . It was always a good song, but now you have unlocked its full potential (comment courtesy of @enby-denby)

the idea of music growing on you is so weird. what's going on in your brain that makes it go "mmmmm :/" for the first 6 listens and then "ok!! ❤️" on the 7th

The Media's Role in Making Trump a Viable Acceptable Candidate: the Mere Exposure Effect, Availability Heuristic, and Confirmation Bias

Reading time: 6 minutes Given that Trump led the 6 January Insurrection and that his sheer incompetence in the pandemic killed a million people, how could he be considered an acceptable and viable candidate by anyone but fascists much less the media?

SUMMARY: This post explores how cognitive biases and heuristics—specifically the mere exposure effect, availability heuristic, and confirmation bias—shape media narratives surrounding Trump. It highlights how repeated exposure to false claims can distort perceptions, leading both the public and reporters to accept these lies as truth. The post emphasizes that journalists, under pressure to meet…
