Hello.
So this is an odd request perhaps but it would help me a lot for a dossier I have to write as part of my current studies in developmental psychology. I turn to this forum because/// well to be honest it's one it's the only forum I have been in in in the last ten years or so even if I haven't posted in a while.
I reassure you, you would be helping me but not doing all the work for me here, so it's not a demand of cheating. I apologize if this is in the wrong forum for it, but this did not quite feel appropriate for mad science and grumpy technology. If it is, please feel free to move it there.
So for a dosier I have to do within my studies, we are supposed to do observation on babies.
Normally that would be done by finding a pre school or parents that are okay with it and would have some kind of arrangement with the university, then an observation in real life. But, as you can imagine, this year and the last have been particular and this can’t really be done. So instead in their great wisdom, our teachers have decided that we should observe on youtube videos.
The problem is... I can't find a suitable video for what I'm trying to observe: is laughter contagious in babies ? And does that change with age ? Now videos of babies and even babies laughing are plenty on the internet but they tend to be very edited, usualy those fairly obnoxious compillations, and not suitable for the methodology.
So if anyone would know where to find footage following the following conditions:
Must be at least two babies together of less than 2 years (more or less) on it.
At least one of them laughs once.
The footage shouldn't be frantically edited, stay on them for more than thirty seconds/ one minute. More would be perfect.
And/or another video, Same conditions, but with toddlers between 2 to 5. (once again *aproximately*)
I'd be incredibly grateful.
Thank you, in advance for your time and attention.
