Abstract

There are few facts about the impacts of reading on psychological behavior. They suggest that there are specific ways in which a reader’s views and perspectives are broadened. Fiction being the social experience for all, allows us to roam the expanse of space, time, history and offer a deeper view of ideas, concepts, emotions and body of knowledge. Living inside the life of a protagonist, you come across experiences that strengthen you and create from within, a sense of attachment towards others in real life, thus forming a significant amount of empathy in the human psyche. The results hereby show that the openness to experience and creativity make up our basic disposition and being high on this quality as the term implies can make you intellectually curious and flexible to promote acceptance and grieve. The conclusion is that, contrary to the common belief, reading does shape the human psyche in a positive way.
