Is positive a cue or a response option? Warm glow vs evaluative matching in the familiarity for attractive and not-so-attractive faces

Article Abstract:

Attractiveness of a face increases its perceived familiarity regardless of prior exposure and this beautiful-is-familiar effect is due to the misattribution to familiarity of the positive affect elicited by attractive faces. An alternative interpretation that an evaluative match between a positive stimulus and a positive response accounts for this effect in the absence of any misattribution is tested.
