People's preference for mirror-image photographs of themselves illustrates the impact of

A) the bystander effect.
B) mirror-image perceptions.
C) the mere exposure effect.
D) self-disclosure.

The mere exposure effect refers to the idea that people tend to develop a preference for things simply because they are familiar with them or have been exposed to them multiple times. In the case of mirror-image photographs of oneself, the preference for the mirror-image is likely due to the fact that it is the way people are most used to seeing themselves, as opposed to the reverse image often captured by cameras.
