We investigated the impact of exposure to literary and popular fiction on psychological essentialism. Exposure to fiction was measured by using the Author Recognition Test, which allows us to separate exposure to authors of literary and popular fiction. Psychological essentialism was assessed by the discreteness subscale of the psychological essentialism scale in Study 1, and by the three subscales of the same scale (such as discreteness, informativeness, and biological basis) in Study 2 that was pre-registered. Results showed that exposure to literary fiction negatively predicts the three subscales. The results emerged controlling for political ideology, a variable that is commonly associated with psychological essentialism, and level of education.
我们研究了接触文学小说和通俗小说对心理本质主义的影响。通过使用作者识别测试来衡量对小说的接触情况，该测试使我们能够区分对文学小说和通俗小说作者的接触。在研究1中，通过心理本质主义量表的离散性子量表评估心理本质主义；在预先注册的研究2中，则通过同一量表的三个子量表（如离散性、信息性和生物学基础）进行评估。结果表明，接触文学小说对这三个子量表有负向预测作用。这些结果在控制了政治意识形态（一个通常与心理本质主义相关的变量）和教育水平后得出。
