Irresistible: How Cuteness Wired Our Brains and Conquered the World Why are some things cute, and others not? What happens to our brains when we see something cute? And how did cuteness go global, from Hello Kitty to Disney characters? Cuteness is an area where culture and biology get tangled up. Seeing a cute animal triggers some of the most powerful psychological instincts we have - the ones that elicit our care and protection - but there is a deeper story behind the broad appeal of Japanese cats and saccharine greetings cards.

Rejecting superficial assessments that would deem the ever-expanding plethora of cute texts trivial, The Aesthetics and Affects of Cuteness directs serious scholarly attention from a variety of academic disciplines to this ubiquitous phenomenon.

Yet little critical attention has been paid to this trend as a broad cultural phenomenon: a lack that the articles in this ‘Cute Studies’ issue address.

The new field of cuteness studies, formed to address this phenomenon, analyzes not only its history and development, but also the connection between cuteness and gender, race, ethnicity, age, nationality, politics and interspecies affiliations. Its aim is to take seriously what is often dismissed as a facile commodity aesthetic. Eds. Coates, Jennifer, Fraser, Lucy, Pendleton, Mark.

The ability to feel cuteness has been with us from the beginning, driving human evolution. Moreover, decades of scientific research reveal that exposure to cuteness gives practical benefits to the mind and body. Cuteness primes your brain for fun, makes you more social, heightens empathy, increases motivation to perform household tasks; and improves physical and mental performance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1601040923880-L5GQWPT4RXL8EUU91QIS/anime_why6.gif HOME - Why study cuteness? The Cute Studies project Cuteness is everywhere in today’s interconnected world. We tweet strings of emojis and google on our Apples. Cats rule the Internet, and the Pokémon franchise is more profitable than Star Wars—even after the arrival of baby Yoda. Yet too often the cute flies under our radar, overlooked and understudied. https://www.cutestudies.org/image-storage daily 0.75 2023-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1597641112523-PS08AURZW8GGGVJ0F5KJ/dale.jpg image storage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1597914347330-BQWY8WF3SUL1NH5UGY6K/logo_wht_small.png image storage transparent logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1597641129854-729IBPULOT3JDH64A9RU/the_easthetics_and_affects_of_cuteness.jpg image storage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1598865394307-4AJETBUAQHQA3HSWQPKO/CS_favicon.png image storage Cute Studies favicon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600435093161-MPZWSKZ6YTRDAGKRR9H8/anime_science.gif image storage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/4fc7c8ce-ee07-42f0-a6f5-0e8be686439a/Joshua-Dale-C+copy.jpeg image storage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600435116736-5VQYX8KGCEANWR4OAW4N/anime_why8.gif image storage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/dea1e8a1-8970-482f-9bbd-5fa6b36bc893/Irresistible_Joshua+Paul+Dale+copy.jpg image storage Irresistible book cover image https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600435379522-UV64TDYE68FU6ZDYH57B/about_title.png image storage about title https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600435380940-V9AF1NLXOFI03WVWW19D/CandSC.png image storage why title https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600435381161-5K5HLA0EYKQ2G7EOXXIK/CS_coverimage.png image storage top main visual https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600438597576-YXN5UH8WQQNFUQP0A14G/presentation_banner.png image storage presentation banner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600597058155-8E40IC5VPUURM6CDPE0U/cutestudies_ogp.png image storage social sharing image https://www.cutestudies.org/editing-manual daily 0.75 2023-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600481804983-KY1BA07U30RNA92CGZT8/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%83%E3%83%88+2020-09-19+10.58.34.png Editing manual for Joshua to edit button links settings, click the pencil icon and see “Design” tab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f36628d63401e503efee49f/1600481748879-DOA91GW2C0DFBZNGXTSF/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%83%E3%83%88+2020-09-19+11.13.42.png Editing manual for Joshua to edit inline links, use the text setting ribbon.
