Abstract

While frequent readers are often stereotyped as socially awkward, this may only be true of non fiction readers and not readers of fiction. Comprehending character in a narrative fiction appears to parallel the comprehension of peers in the actual world, while the comprehension of expository non fiction shares no much parallels. Frequent fiction readers my thus bolster or mountain their social abilities unlike frequent readers of non fiction. Lifetime exposure to non fiction and non fiction text was examined along with performance on empathy or social acumen measures, in general fiction print exposure positively predicted measures of social ability while non fiction print exposure was a negative predictor. The tendency to become absorbed in a story also predicted empathy scores. Participant age, experience with English, and intelligence were statiscally controlled.
