The exposure effect (also known as the mere exposure effect) is a psychological phenomenon by which people tend to develop a preference for things merely because they are familiar with them. In social psychology, this effect is sometimes called the familiarity principle. In studies of interpersonal attraction, the more often a person is seen by someone, the more pleasing and likeable that person appears to be.

The earliest known research on the exposure effect was conducted by Gustav Fechner in 1876.[1] Edward B. Titchener also documented the effect and described the "glow of warmth" one feels when in the presence of something that is familiar.
