document: Bigger is better : the influence of physical size on aesthetic preference judgments The hypothesis that the physical size of an object can influence aesthetic preferences was investigated . In a series of four experiments , participants were presented with pairs of abstract stimuli and asked to indicate which member of each pair they preferred . A preference for larger stimuli was found on the majority of trials using various types of stimuli , stimuli of various sizes , and with both adult and 3-year-old participants . This preference pattern was disrupted only when participants had both stimuli that provided a readily accessible alternative source of preference-evoking information and sufficient attentional resources to make their preference judgments
