Wie Werbung Funktioniert – Der Mere Exposure Effekt

The video explores the mere exposure effect, a psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a stimulus increases our preference for it. This effect is explained by our preference for familiar things and our cognitive ease with simple tasks. Psychologist Robert Zajonc's research demonstrated that repeated exposure can influence preferences even without conscious awareness. The implications for advertising are significant, as repeated exposure can enhance the effectiveness of marketing strategies. The video concludes with a discussion on the ethics of advertising in public spaces.
