At the boundaries of misattribution: does positivity influence judgments of familiarity in the affect misattribution procedure? (2017)
Journal Article
Weil, R., Palma, T. A. C., & Gawronski, B. (2017). At the boundaries of misattribution: does positivity influence judgments of familiarity in the affect misattribution procedure?. Experimental Psychology, 64(6), 369-386. https://doi.org/10.1027/1618-3169/a000379

Priming effects in the Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP) have been explained by a misattribution of prime-related affect to neutral targets. However, the measure has been criticized for being susceptible to intentional use of prime features in ju...
