Subliminal Advertising And Negative Interpretation

posted by evelyn haskins on 06 Nov 2009 at 8:47 pm

Of course this might prove nothing more than that people are more likely to guess that an un-perceived thingie is negative than positive.

It seems likely to be biologically advantageous to assume negativity when unsure than positivity. You might miss out on food, but then you might miss out on being killed!

Or better to react with fear to a harmless stick than to risk stepping on a funnel web spider (deadly!).

I would suggest that the experiment be repeated using nothing BUT apparently neutral words and then asses he rates of different responses.
