TEXT 2
People who read books are nicer than those who
don’t, study finds.
People often think that, yes, books make you smarter
but at the same time people who read a lot struggle
when it comes to social relationships. A new study
reveals that this is not true. In fact, reading could
actually make you a _____, _____ person. It also
makes you act in a _____ acceptable manner.
The study, conducted by Kingston University in
London, involved 124 participants. Participants were
quizzed on their preferences for books, TV, and plays.
They were also tested on interpersonal skills including
how much they considered other people’s feelings
and whether they acted to help others.
The study found that those who preferred books were
more likely to act in a socially acceptable manner
compared to those who preferred watching TV. Those
who preferred watching TV, on the other hand, came
across as less friendly and less understanding of
others’ views.
However, not all types of books tend to have the same
effect. The study shows that the type of literature you
choose also has a huge impact on your emotional
intelligence. In particular, the study revealed that
fiction fans showed more positive social behavior
while readers of drama and romance novels were
found to be the most empathic. In the same vein, fans
of experimental books were most able to see things
from alternative perspectives, and readers who
favored comedy fans were best at relating to others.
“Exposure to fiction relates to a range of empathetic
abilities […] Engaging with fictional prose and comedy
in particular could be key to enhancing people’s
empathetic abilities,” said the researchers during
the British Psychological Society conference in
Brighton.
It should be borne in mind, however, that the study did
not prove cause-and-effect. It may very well be that
nicer people are more drawn to reading books.
