        Are Words Judged More Positively with a Larger Font Size?

     We live in a society in which things that are larger are perceived to be better.  Although a small house would be more realistic to buy based on our income, we may decide to buy a larger house.  The book that is 400 pages in length may be judged to be a better book than a book that is only 150 pages in length.  
      Does the font size affect our judgments of how positive words are?  Meier, Robinson, and Caven (2008) found that words presented in a larger font size were judged more positively. 
     It may be a good idea to use a larger font size when describing a product.  However, more research is needed to find out whether font size in a description of a product would influence evaluations of the product.
