The Power of Kawaii: Viewing Cute Images Promotes a Careful Behavior and Narrows Attentional Focus
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This study found that viewing "kawaii" (cute) images, like pictures of puppies and kittens, can improve performance on tasks requiring focus, like a game of "Operation" or a visual search. However, pictures of tasty food didn't have the same effect. The researchers think cute images narrow our attention, making us concentrate better, but not on everything.
