Why do people like cute pictures of children or animals?

When I see a cute scene, my curiosity works,
Curiosity focuses attention on the details.
It is said to improve the accuracy of study and work.

Last year, 2012
A research team led by Hiroshi Nitono of Hiroshima University in Japan
The Power of Kawai paper…
It was published in the U.S. online science magazine “Plus One”.
This fact came to light.

In this study, Professor Nittono said, “Cute”.
To find out how emotions work,
We will divide 130 college students into two groups.
One group took cute pictures of dogs and cats.
I’ll let you listen to it for 90 seconds.
The other group didn’t do that.

After that, the two groups gave small parts of the toy.
Let him pick it up with tweezers.
Students who saw cute animal pictures,
While the number of successes increased by 44%,
The success rate of those who didn’t was only 12 percent higher.

It wasn’t just this.
In an experiment to find a specified number in a 10-digit sequence,
A group that saw pictures of cute dogs and cats.
While the number of correct answers increased by 16%,
Groups that have seen mature animals, food, and natural photographs
The percentage of correct answers has remained almost unchanged.

==========================================

The power of cuteness… It’s amazing.
On a warm day, to improve your concentration,
Cute pictures of children and animals.
I will share with you a lot.
