Love this post a friend sent me. So appropriate just as we go into another round of She Came Into Focus: “mere-exposure: Formulated in 1968 by a psychologist named Robert Zajonc, it basically says that people react more favorably to things they seen more often. ...Since we see ourselves most frequently in the mirror, this is our preferred self-image. According to the mere-exposure effect, when your slight facial asymmetries are left unflipped by the camera, you see an unappealing, alien version of yourself. So if youre wondering why you like what you see in the mirror, and hate how you look in photos...theres your answer! wired/2015/01/whats-up-with-pictures-yourself/
