The empirical evidence for exploration underlying the appeal of imaginary worlds is mostly absent or contradictory. Openness, and the cognitive exploration it represents, provides a better account than the overall drive to explore predicted by evolutionary theory. Furthermore, exploration cannot explain why imaginary worlds foster frequent re-engagement.
支持想象世界吸引力的探索的经验证据大多是缺失或矛盾的。开放性及其所代表的认知探索比进化理论所预测的总体探索驱动力提供了更好的解释。此外,探索并不能解释为什么想象世界会促进频繁的重新参与。
