Lezen over lijden : een empirisch onderzoek naar empathie en reflectie in reactie op literaire verhalen
In this dissertation, I provide preliminary answers to four research questions concerning our relation to (literary) narratives about suffering:
(I) What are readers’ motives to read about suffering?
(II) To what extent do literary narrative texts about suffering evoke affective responses during reading, reflection, empathy towards others and prosocial behavior in comparison to non-literary texts?
(III) To what extent do personal characteristics of readers influence those affective responses, reflection, empathy towards others and prosocial behavior?
(IV) To what extent and how do affective responses during reading influence reflection, empathy towards others and prosocial behavior?
