There are lots of empirical studies that supports a ”mere exposure effect”. This effect is basically about that the more you are exposed to something the more you tend to like this – whatever it may be.

This effect is well known by people in the advertising business. The more often a consumer is exposed to something the more positive towards this – whatever it may be – we will find the consumer.

A consequence of this effect is that you will become more positive towards this text if you read it several times.
