Numerous studies have shown a positive relationship between reading fiction and Theory of Mind (ToM) in children and young adults. However, there is little evidence to evaluate how reading habits relate to ToM in older adults. Also, nearly all studies exploring this topic have focused only on Western participants. In the current study of 229 participants, we tested whether age groups (young vs older

Arts and cultural consumption and diversity research: A bibliometric analysis Poetics (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2025-01-10 Manuel Cuadrado-García, Juan D. Montoro-Pons
Arts and cultural consumption have been shown to be determined by people?s sociodemographic background. Diversity is embedded in such a context and shapes individual choice. It includes a myriad of factors: gender, sexual orientation, functional diversity, ethnic or religious background. However, it has been unevenly analyzed in the literature. This paper brings these topics to the forefront by conducting

What is the role of creative industries in the Anthropocene? An argument for planetary cultural policy Poetics (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2025-01-10 Miikka Pyykk?nen, Christiaan De Beukelaer
Many artistic expressions call for cultural, social and political change. Though the policy environments in which they emerge remain predominantly wedded to a consumption-driven creative economy. In doing so, they tacitly endorse a methodologically nationalist perspective on artistic expression, trade in creative goods and services, and cultural identity. By using the United Nations resolution on the

Beyond statistical variables: Examining the duality of persons and groups in structuring cultural space Poetics (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2025-01-08 Yongren Shi, Kevin Kiley, Freda B. Lynn
Socially constructed categories are central to sociological investigation, but their use in empirical research on culture is often limited to a role as explanatory variables in regression designs comparing differences in groups means. We argue that categories can and do structure cultural space on multiple dimensions simultaneously, and that the cohesiveness of culture within categories is under-explored

Critical Race Theory has become the latest signifier in the American culture wars, polarizing people across the political spectrum. In this paper, using the Virginia Governor's race as a case study, we ask how a political campaign helped transform Critical Race Theory from an academic theory to an emotionally charged political acronym – “CRT” – thus becoming a symbol evoking, crystalizing, and politicizing

This article considers visual and narrative representations of mothers and daughters in the understudied publication Mademoiselle ?ge Tendre. Issues spanning the years 1968 to 1971 suggest a marked interest – in some cases, a reliance – on the mother figure who, from an adolescent's point of view in the late 1960s, would most likely have been considered conservative, traditional and belonging to the

Narratology, applied Narrative Inquiry (IF 0.9) Pub Date : 2024-12-06 Lois Presser
Criminology is foundationally an applied discipline, or one whose knowledge seeks to shape some non-academic practice. Narratives – particularly the narratives of parties to ‘crime’ – are essential to criminology, but criminologists have hardly engaged with narratology. This paper tracks the progression from traditional narrative research involving harm agents and criminalized persons to a relatively

There is a growing consensus that climate fiction might be an effective communication strategy to move the public on climate. However, empirical evidence documenting such an effect is limited, especially when it comes to climate fiction's potential to induce emotions of hope and fear, which are of key importance to the ongoing debate about the social effects of climate messages.

Divergences and convergences across European musical preferences: How taste varies within and between countries Poetics (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-11-29 Laurie Hanquinet, Mark Taylor
When investigating relational structures in culture, research in Europe has often either mapped the relationship between cultural tastes in a particular context, or mapped differences in cultural tastes (measured consistently) in different countries, without assessing how these differences can vary across them. Indeed, the idea of national homology (namely that the structures of cultural capital would

Stratification of educational quality judgments: Insights from two factorial survey experiments on socioeconomic differences in student and parent evaluations Poetics (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-11-13 Francisco Olivos
The use that agents do of cultural knowledge to navigate institutions is a major explanation of inequalities. Nevertheless, the difficulties accessing culture knowledge have led sociologists of education to often rely on declarative forms of culture to gauge explanations on inequalities. Based on the case of Chile, this study contributes to educational inequality research by using factorial survey

Comparison of ambiguity and aesthetic impressions in haiku poetry between experts and novices Poetics (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-11-01 Jimpei Hitsuwari, Michio Nomura
Haiku, the world's shortest form of poetry, has usually been deemed ambiguous owing to its length. However, studies have shown that ambiguity lowers the aesthetic evaluation of a haiku, which contradicts the belief that ambiguity is a characteristic of both the haiku and art in general. One reason for this contradiction may be the interaction with the readers’ attributes, in particular, their expertise—a
