We investigated the effects of long-term exposure to literary and popular fiction on attributional complexity, egocentric bias and accuracy. Results of a pre-registered study showed that exposure to literary fiction is positively associated with scores on the attributional complexity scale. Literary fiction is also associated with accuracy in mentalizing, measured via the Reading the Mind in the Eyes test, and with accuracy in predicting average social attitudes. The predicted negative association between literary fiction and egocentric bias emerged only when education and gender were controlled for-a covariance analysis that was not pre-registered. Exposure to popular fiction is associated solely with attributional complexity, but negatively. We discuss the significance of these findings in the context of the emerging literature regarding the relationship between fiction and social cognition.
我们研究了长期接触文学和通俗小说对归因复杂性、自我中心偏差和准确性的影响。一项预先注册的研究结果表明，接触文学小说与归因复杂性量表的得分呈正相关。文学小说也与通过“读心测试”衡量的心理理论准确性以及预测平均社会态度的准确性相关。只有在控制了教育和性别后，文学小说和自我中心偏差之间的预测负相关才会出现——这是一个没有预先注册的协方差分析。接触通俗小说仅与归因复杂性相关，但呈负相关。我们在关于小说和社会认知之间关系的新兴文献背景下讨论了这些发现的意义。
