The positivity-familiarity effect suggests that people use positive affect as a cue to answer the question of whether they have encountered a stimulus before. Five experiments investigated this effect under various conditions. Positivity-familiarity effects were obtained irrespective of whether the task context suggested a correct answer to the question of whether a given target stimulus is familiar or unfamiliar. However, effects were less reliable when participants had a basis to assume that they had been presented with the target stimuli earlier in the same study and when they were asked to indicate whether the targets had been presented before (instead of judging them as familiar or unfamiliar). Positivity-familiarity effects were also obtained irrespective of whether affective primes were presented for short, moderate, or long durations. However, effects were less reliable for short compared to moderate and long prime presentations. Implications for the positivity-familiarity effect and other misattribution phenomena are discussed.

情境阳性何时会影响熟悉程度的判断？积极-熟悉效应的调查主持人

积极-熟悉效应表明人们使用积极情感作为线索来回答他们之前是否曾经历过刺激的问题。五个实验研究了在各种条件下的这种影响。无论任务上下文是否对给定的目标刺激是熟悉还是不熟悉的问题提出了正确答案，都获得了积极熟悉的效果。但是，如果参与者有理由假设他们在同一研究中已被较早地接受过目标刺激，并且要求他们指出目标是否曾被提出过（而不是将其判断为熟悉或不熟悉），则效果不太可靠。 ）。不论是否在短，中或长时间内都出现情感素数，也可以获得正向熟悉效果。但是，与中等和长时间的主要演示文稿相比，短期效果不太可靠。讨论了对积极性-熟悉效应和其他错误归因现象的影响。
