一项新开发的问卷显示，成年人对儿童可爱性的感知有四个因素：儿童般的行为，儿童对成年人的模仿，成年人对儿童的保护感和儿童的身体属性。84名没有孩子的本科生和72名至少有一个孩子的成年人观看了一部电影，电影中一个5岁的男孩和女孩穿着男孩或女孩的衣服，然后使用问卷评估他们的可爱程度。结果显示，无论是否有自己的孩子，参与者对孩子可爱的感觉都是平等的。在可爱的四个因素中，孩子般的行为似乎是最强大的操作。
A newly developed questionnaire revealed that there are four factors in adults' perception of children's cuteness: childlike behavior, children's imitation of adults, adults' protective feeling toward children, and children's physical attributes. Eighty-four childless undergraduates and 72 adults with at least one child watched a film of a five-year-old boy and girl dressed either in boyish clothes or girlish, and then assessed their cuteness using the questionnaire. The results showed that participants rated equally their feeling of children's cuteness regardless of having or not having their own children. Among the four factors of cuteness, childlike behavior seemed to operate most strongly.
