Routine Checkup: So Cute You Wanna Crush It — Cute Aggression

Do you ever look at your pet sleeping with its tongue sticking out and think "you're so cute I want to stomp on you"? Or do you ever see a baby and think "Look at its little fingers! They are so small and cute, I want to bite them off!" Or "Look at this baby chinchilla! I want to squeeze it until it's eyes pop out!"? Well if you said yes, then you, my friend, have what is referred to as Cute Aggression! This week we speak with Dr. Katherine — Assistant Professor of Neuroscience and a licensed clinical psychologist — all about the bizarre phenomenon of cute aggression and what she learned by conducting the first neuroscientific study of cute aggression.
