Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a new study finds that reading fiction improves empathy, which of the following can be inferred?
  • Step 1: Understand what the study is saying. It finds that reading fiction can improve empathy.
  • Step 2: Recognize that 'improves empathy' means it can help people understand and share feelings better.
  • Step 3: Note that the study does not say reading fiction is the only way to improve empathy.
  • Step 4: Realize that not all types of reading (like non-fiction) are claimed to have the same effect on empathy.

  • Generalization – The question examines the ability to avoid overgeneralizing the findings of a specific study to all forms of reading or other methods of developing empathy.
