Seeking (Dis)Order: Ordering Appeals but Slight Disorder and Complex Order Trigger Interest

Claudia Muth et al.

Summary: People tend to prefer objects that are ordered, predictable, or can be processed fluently, but they also enjoy the process of ordering, especially in perceptually challenging contexts. Our studies show that liking is predictable by potential for order-detection, while interest requires association with order and perceptual challenge. Patterns intended to be interesting are more perceptually challenging than those intended to be liked or beautiful.

Order, Complexity, and Aesthetic Preferences for Neatly Organized Compositions

Eline Van Geert et al.

Summary: The study explored people's aesthetic preferences for neatly organized images and found that images high in order and high in complexity were perceived as more fascinating, while images high in order but low in complexity were perceived as more soothing. Aesthetic preferences increased with increasing differences in soothingness and fascination. Subjective order and subjective complexity both played a role in aesthetic appreciation, independently of each other.
