So Cute! Consumers' Visual Engagement With Cuteness: the Moderating Effects of Perceptions of Required Care and Caregiving Goals

We show how framing messages (babies are robust or fragile) interact with parenting motivations to change consumers’ engagement with babies, and subsequent engagement with baby-related products.
