Abstract
The current studies explored the moderating role length of exposure has on the processing of dynamic stimuli. Across two studies, the results suggest that processing negative stimuli at minimal exposures leads to more extreme impressions than longer exposures. Study 1 demonstrated that participants forming impressions after viewing clips taken from an invariant negative video formed more negative impressions than participants watching the full video. Study 2 replicated the findings in Study 1 and additionally suggested that cognitive processing plays a role in the more moderate impressions formed after longer exposures. Cognitive processing was induced via a thought-listing task after viewing the stimuli. Participants engaging in the thought-listing task prior to answering the impression questionnaire formed similar impressions regardless of length of exposure.
