" Our Love of Shiny, Glossy Things Goes Back to Our Need for Water
December 4, 2014
Research Fact
" Our Love of Shiny, Glossy Things Goes Back to Our Need for Water "
Experiment
Overall, research participants who saw photos of planets preferred pictures that had been printed on glossy paper, but the preference for shininess was much more pronounced among participants who had first eaten 8 thirst-inducing salty crackers .
Reason
This and other experiments suggest that people’s widespread affinity for reflective surfaces – even small children preferred glossy to non-glossy pictures of Santa Claus (2.26 versus 2.74 on a 1-to-4 scale with 1 being “most preferred”) – stems from a biological attraction to sources of water.
