看到可爱萌物就想捏,是心理有问题吗?科学解释来了
可爱侵略
In 2012, Oriana Aragon and Rebecca Dyer did an experiment. They asked volunteers to look at cute, funny, and neutral animal photos and then rate how they felt.
As expected, cute photos elicited stronger emotions — the volunteers were more likely to agree with statements like, “I can’t stand it!” and “I want to squeeze something!"
In a follow-up study, the researchers found people who watched a slideshow of cute animal photos popped more bubbles on a sheet of bubble wrap compared to people who watched funny or neutral slideshows.
Cute aggression, or playful aggression, is superficially aggressive behaviour caused by seeing something cute, such as a human baby or young animal. People experiencing cute aggression may grit their teeth, clench their fists, or feel the urge to bite, pinch, and squeeze something they consider cute.
为什么会产生可爱侵略?
The physical characteristics we perceive as cute such as big eyes, big heads, chubby cheeks, and short arms and legs. They are signal of helplessness and vulnerability and evoke our caregiving instincts.
It appears probably in the sense that the brain is trying to regulate our out-of-control emotional state, so it doesn't hurt each other.
大家都有可爱侵略吗?
Oriana estimates that around 50 to 60% of people act in a mock aggressive way when confronted with something unbearably cute, and not everyone will have this ambivalent psychological experience.
