Abstract

We report two pre-registered experiments investigating some of the conditions under which readers focus on aesthetically relevant object properties in text processing. Experiment 1 (N = 159) tested the role of narrativity, psychological information about textual characters, and readers’ identification with them. Participants’ focus on aesthetically relevant object properties was stronger after reading a narrative than an expository text. This relationship between participants’ focus and narrativity was not affected by information about textual characters, or readers’ identification with them. Experiment 2 (N = 159) tested the role of narrativity, literariness, and readers’ perception of literary features. Again, reading a narrative led to a stronger focus on aesthetically relevant object properties than reading an expository text. The effect of literary narratives was meditated by readers’ perception of literary features. In sum, narrativity and literariness, but not information about characters or identification with them affect the degree to which readers focus on aesthetically relevant object properties.

叙述性与文学性对文本阅读审美态度的影响
我们报告了两个预先注册的实验,调查了读者在文本处理中关注美学相关对象属性的一些条件。实验1 (N = 159)测试了叙事性的作用、文本人物的心理信息以及读者对文本人物的认同。在阅读叙事性的文章后,参与者对与美学相关的物体属性的关注比阅读说明性的文章更强烈。参与者的注意力和叙述之间的这种关系不受文本字符信息或读者对文本字符的认同的影响。实验2 (N = 159)测试了叙事性、文学性和读者对文学特征的感知的作用。再一次,阅读叙事性文章比阅读说明性文章更能让人关注与美学相关的物体属性。文学叙事的效果是通过读者对文学特征的感知来体现的。总而言之,叙事性和文学性,而不是关于人物的信息或对他们的认同,会影响读者对美学相关对象属性的关注程度。
