Their research explored how reading fiction affects empathy through emotional transportation. In simple terms, they asked: Does getting lost in a story actually make us better at understanding other people? Participants were given fiction to read, and their empathy levels were measured before and after. The study found that readers who reported higher transportation into the story showed measurable gains in empathy over time. I chose this dataset because it directly addresses my project's big question: The Role of Fiction in Fostering Empathy and Understanding amongst Audiences.
