The Still Face Experiment.

That was an interesting video.

I do not know.
Although it is essentially the same emotion, the context is different.
Because I do not want attention at all.
In fact, if I was a baby with the opinions I hold now, I would get very angry if someone tried to act like that mother did.

Anger is a secondary emotion... meaning, it always comes after another emotion. You might feel scared, uncomfortable, lonely, confused, etc. and that feeling manifests itself in anger. Keeping that in mind, I'm curious why you would say this

and yet feel that the baby was being manipulative with her response. The baby was simply expressing her emotions of confusion/loneliness/whatever, which may look different than the 'anger' that you say you would feel, but in reality are probably some of the same root feelings.

aw i thought this was adorable, the way she started smiling and pointing to get a reaction from the mum. i cant see how it was manipulative- she doesnt have the capacity to manipulate in the normal sense yet:/
