Kawaii (a Japanese word meaning “cute”) things are popular because they produce positive feelings. However, their effect on behavior remains unclear. In this study, three experiments were conducted to examine the effects of viewing cute images on subsequent task performance. In the first experiment, university students performed a fine motor dexterity task before and after viewing images of baby or adult animals. Performance indexed by the number of successful trials increased after viewing cute images (puppies and kittens; M ± SE = 43.9±10.3% improvement) more than after viewing images that were less cute (dogs and cats; 11.9±5.5% improvement). In the second experiment, this finding was replicated by using a non-motor visual search task. Performance improved more after viewing cute images (15.7±2.2% improvement) than after viewing less cute images (1.4±2.1% improvement). Viewing images of pleasant foods was ineffective in improving performance (1.2±2.1%). In the third experiment, participants performed a global–local letter task after viewing images of baby animals, adult animals, and neutral objects. In general, global features were processed faster than local features. However, this global precedence effect was reduced after viewing cute images. Results show that participants performed tasks requiring focused attention more carefully after viewing cute images. This is interpreted as the result of a narrowed attentional focus induced by the cuteness-triggered positive emotion that is associated with approach motivation and the tendency toward systematic processing. For future applications, cute objects may be used as an emotion elicitor to induce careful behavioral tendencies in specific situations, such as driving and office work.

Actual scientific evidence for why a power should be released? Not sure I've seen that before! I want my dexterity performance increasing too please! :d

Oh... :( Well I guess the printscreen was only an example anyway. This idea sounds really lovely, and although we have an abundance of cute things already, it would fit into the system really nicely! Would much like to see some cool or gruesome things too, though, to balance it out!

 

Overall, a great suggestion, Minerva!

I agree, we should promote diversity! We already have American: 102p0xw.png and Korean: v7wgub.png  foods, after all!  (smirk)

Koreans eat dogs??????? 

Spoiler

They should not eat dogs! They are nice pets! I say NO EATING DOGS. 

This power may as well be called Sushi in my opinion if it is created. I do kind of like it though.

You won the internet for today, i guess. :d

 

@minerva56 I like the way you suggested it, but aren't there a lot of 'cute' smilies on xat already? For example manga has some cute ones in my opinion.
