The Power of Cute…

Based on scientific research.

Japanese researchers have shown that looking at pictures of cute animals can help to improve your work performance and powers of concentration and reduce stress. The simplest things in life work the best. And this couldn't be any more easy. As long as they’re pictures of kittens not cats, puppies not dogs, babies not adults our body releases the chemicals we need to stay more focused.

The researchers state in the published paper:

“This finding suggests that viewing cute images makes participants behave more deliberately and perform tasks with greater time and care,”

“This study shows that viewing cute things improves subsequent performance in tasks that require behavioural carefulness, possibly by narrowing the breadth of attentional focus,”

For many years now researchers have proven that we are predisposed to respond to “cute” baby-like features such as a large head, round face, a high protruding forehead, and large eyes, known as the “Baby Schema.” Baby animals also have the baby schema features, which explains why we innately think puppies and kittens are cuter than dogs and cats.

The baby schema features activate a number of innate processes in people, including smiling, saying awww, positive effects and nurturing behaviour. These baby schema attributes are perceived as cute and elicits stronger motivation for caretaking behaviour in other individuals. For survival babies require the parents to pay careful attention to their physical and mental wellbeing, such as being aware to potential dangers. The research shows cute images improve attention and perception performance on detail-oriented tasks that require concentration.

In the experiment undertaken by researchers at Hiroshima University, the participants who were shown images of kittens and puppies performed their tasks better, than those who were shown cats and dogs. Performance scores greatly improved by 44%. The researchers call this effect a “cuteness-triggered positive emotion” and suggest placing cute objects at work to improve focus and concentration and therefore stress levels. The research paper concludes by stating “This study provides further evidence that perceiving cuteness exerts immediate effects on cognition and behaviour in a wider context than that related to care giving or social interaction,”
