CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND RELATED LITERATURE
Introduction
Reading and watching stories can be an escape from real life, a
window into another world -- but have you ever considered how
new fictional experiences might change your perspective on real,
everyday life? From children fairytales to Harry Potter, learn
how popular fiction can spark public dialogue and shape culture.
The
power
in
the
psychology
of
fiction
is
important
to
acknowledge.
Is fiction good for us? We spend huge chunks of our lives
immersed in novels, films, TV shows, and other forms of fiction.
Some see this as a positive thing, arguing that made-up stories
cultivate our mental and moral development. But others have
argued that fiction is mentally and ethically corrosive.
Reading fiction improves understanding of others, and this
has a very basic importance in society, not just in the general
way
of

understanding,

specific
by
areas
improving
such
as
politics, business, and education. In an era when high-school

and university subjects are evaluated economically, our results
do have economic implications. People read fiction to travel to
fictional worlds, where one's responsibilities are few and one's
3

experiences are many. But fiction also enables us to change our
personality.
This research consistently shows that fiction does mold
us. The more deeply we are cast under a storys spell, the more
potent
its
influence.
In
fact,
fiction
seems
to
be
more
effective at changing beliefs than nonfiction, which is designed

to persuade through argument and evidence. Studies show that
when we read nonfiction, we read with our shields up. We are
critical and skeptical. But when we are absorbed in a story, we
drop our intellectual guard. We are moved emotionally, and this
seems to make us rubbery and easy to shape.
But
perhaps
the
most
impressive
finding
is
just
how
fiction shapes us: mainly for the better, not for the worse.
Fiction enhances our ability to understand other people; it
promotes
deep
morality
that
cuts
across
religious
and
political creeds. More peculiarly, fictions happy endings seem

to warp our sense of reality. They make us believe in a lie:
that the world is more just than it actually is. But believing
that lie has important effects for societyand it may even help
explain why humans tell stories in the first place.

Background of the Study
Neuroscientists have discovered that reading a novel or
watching can improve brain function on a variety of levels. The
researchers found that becoming engrossed in a novel enhances
connectivity
in
the
brain
and
improves
brain
function.
Interestingly, reading fiction was found to improve the reader's

ability to put themselves in another persons shoes and flex the
imagination in a way that is similar to the visualization of a
muscle memory in sports.
Psychologists have made big advances by means of methods
such as experiments, interviews, questionnaires, and controlled
observations. So it may seem that fiction has no more place in
psychology than ideas of a flat earth have in the physical
sciences. Perhaps a quote from fiction may be all right for an
illustration
when
photo
won't
do,
but
surely
nothing
in
fiction is comparable to an article in a referred psychological

journal.
Even
the
word
"fiction"
gives
it
away.
It
means
something made, something made up. This view was widely held.
Perhaps it still is. But it's wrong.
Narrative fiction isn't a set of observations that are flawed by
lack of reliability and validity. It's a simulation. Narrative
was the very first kind of simulation, one that runs not on
computers but on minds. It's a kind of simulation that enables
us to enter social contexts that otherwise we would never know.

The
imagination
enables
us
to
understand
others
and
ourselves, to draw on our past in order to consider possible

futures. It's a means by which we can transcend the immediate.
Psychological
research
on
imagination
has
been
sparse
in
comparison with such areas as perception and memory. At last

such research is coming into prominence, in a meeting between
the psychology of fiction and questions of how we deal with the
what-ifs of human life.

Statement of the Problem
The study is designed to determine how fictional stories
affect viewers emotional behavior.
Specifically
this
research
and
study
aims
to
answer
the
following questions:
1. How may the respondents be described in terms of :
a. Age;
b. Gender
2. What are the possible effects on viewers emotional
behavior in terms of:
a. Age; and
b. Gender
3. What are the possible reasons of the viewers on their
engagement in watching fictional stories?
4. Implications of the study on Santa Rosa
National
High
School.
Hypothesis
Through analyzing the conducted surveys and through

some readings, the researchers have inferred the following.
Scope and Delimitation

This
study
focuses
on
the
effects
of
reading
or
watching
fictional stories on viewers behavioral pattern.

8

High School students enrolled in Santa Rosa National High School
at the Year of 2015-2016, were randomly selected and used as the
respondents of this study.
The
descriptive
method
of
research
will
be
used
with
questionnaires and interviews as a source of data.
Significance of the Study

The
findings
of
this
study
will
redound
to
the
benefit of the society, considering that fictional stories

play an important role in viewers emotional behavior.
To the viewers, who long for explanation as to why
fictional stories affect our emotional behavior in ways we
couldnt understand in the first place.
The researchers, be a part of the growing world of
fictions. Explaining how fictional stories mold our minds
and
our
hearts

Definition of terms
The following terms are defined as used in the study.
SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY- is interested directly and primarily in human
behavior in a social situation. It may concern itself with the
inner mechanisms of responses to social stimuli, or it may focus
its attention upon collective response to similar or identical
or to mutual or supplementary stimuli. In the one case it leans
towards psychology and in the other it rests upon sociology.
Both interests are legitimate to the field of social psychology
and in both cases its theme is human behavior.
THE UNITS OF BEHAVIOR in either case it is concerned with the
individual or neural patterns of response, and in the latter
case it must consider the collective patterns of response. In

neural
review
(primarily
the
fundamental
neuro-muscular)
and
general
patterns
of
response. In later chapters we will consider the more specific

and derivative (primarily neuro-psychic) individual patterns of
adjustment.
ACQUIRED BEHAVIOR PATTERNS the conclusion which apparently we

are compelled to draw from these facts is that the significance
of instinctive behavior for man has been vastly overestimated.
Instincts,
like
reflexes,
undoubtedly
have
served
useful
function in the adjustment processes of lower animal types,
11

especially in the case of the simpler responses under relatively
constant
environmental
conditions.
But
as
environment
became
more complex and fluid or flexible for higher types of animals,

and as the complexity of both organism and environment grew up
and changed together, instincts no longer served adequately the
higher functions of adjustment. They hindered rather than aided
the
coordinated
and
concomitant
changes
in
environment
and
organism. It became necessary to discard them, or to reduce them

to their constituent reflexes, or to inhibit their development
and functioning, as was the case with the delayed instincts. The
reflexes could, in large measure, still remain, because their
greater simplicity made it possible for them to be organized
into
new
and
acquired
composite
patterns
by
environmental
pressures or selection. Thus habits have largely supplanted the

instincts and the independent or isolated reflexes as human
behavior patterns. Modern culture and civilization are built
primarily, if not wholly, out of acquired behavior patterns.
Civilization itself has sometimes rightly been termed a complex
of acquired characteristics.

is highly
controversial amongst critics and scholars who study literature.

INTERPERSONAL SKILLS- are sometimes also referred to as people

the
skills a person uses to communicate and interact with others.

They

Social psychology is an academic discipline that does research
related to social skills or interpersonal skills. The discipline
studies how skills are learned by an individual through changes
in attitude, thinking, and behavior.
Introspection, (from Latin introspicere, to look within), the
process of observing the operations of ones own mind with a
view
to
discovering
the
laws
that
govern
the
mind.
In
dualistic philosophy, which divides the natural world (matter,

13

including the human body) from the contents of consciousness,
introspection is the chief method of psychology.
Perspective-talking is the process by which an individual views
a situation from another's point-of-view. Perspective-taking can
occur visually in that one changes their physical location to
see things as someone else does. Perspective-taking can also
occur cognitively in that one mentally simulates the point-ofview
of
anothers
cognitive
state.
For
instance,
one
can
visualize the viewpoint of a taller individual (physical state)

or reflect upon another's point-of-view on a particular concept
(cognitive state). In other words, perspective-taking is the
process of temporarily suspending ones own point-of-view in an
attempt to view a situation as someone else might. This process
does
not
necessitate
any
form
of
affinity,
compassion,
or
emotional identification with the other. Therefore, as anotheroriented activity, perspective-taking can be used to gain an
understanding of a given physical state and/or situation after
which a determination of appropriate action can be selected
(e.g.,
empathy). Perspective
taking
ability
appears
to
be
greater in adults than children, because adults are more able to

correct and adopt the perspective of another person.
EMPATHY-
is
used
to
describe
wide
range
of
experiences.
Emotion researchers generally define empathy as the ability to

sense
other
peoples
emotions,
coupled
with
the
ability
to
imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling.
14

Fictional character- is a person in a work of art such as a
novel, play, opera or movie. If it is a made-up person or
imaginary person (not someone who really or actually lived) it
is a "fictional character".
Theory of mind (ToM)- is the intuitive understanding of one's
own
and
other
people's
minds
or
mental
states
including
thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, knowledge, intentions, desires,

and emotionsand of how those mental states influence behavior.

Some says, neither. It is art."We all know that Art is not
truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the
truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the
manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his
lies. If he only shows in his work that he has searched, and researched,
for
the
way
to
put
over
lies,
he
would
never
accomplish anything." - Pablo Picasso. Let's put it this way:

- Fiction is not fact real because its narrative or descriptive
content comes from imagination. Is it real? It can be real
enough, depending on how the fiction references real life. Is it
fake?
Fiction
doesn't
pretend
to
be
anything
more
than
imagination, so strictly speaking it isn't fake. But more down

to earth, fiction essentially means made-up (fake).

Related Studies
Science
fiction
studies is
the
common
name
for
the academic discipline that studies and researches the
history, culture, and works of science fiction and, more
broadly, speculative fiction.
The modern field of science fiction studies is closely
related to popular culture studies, a sub discipline
of cultural
studies,
and film and literature studies.
Because of the ties with futurism and utopian works, there
is often overlap with these fields as well. The field also
has
spawned
subfields,
such
as feminist
science
fiction studies.
However, the field's roots go back much further, to the
earliest commentators who studied representations of the
sciences in the arts and literature, and explorations of
utopian and social reform impulses in fantastic and
visionary works of art and literature.
Modern
science
fiction
criticism
may
have
started
with Dorothy Scarborough, who in 1917 included a chapter
on "Supernatural Science" in her doctoral dissertation,
published as The Supernatural in Modern English Fiction.
As the pulp era progressed, shifting science fiction ever
further into popular culture, groups of writers, editors,
publishers, and fans (often scientists, academics, and
scholars
of
other
fields)
systematically
organized
publishing enterprises, conferences, and other insignia of
an academic discipline. Much discussion about science
fiction took place in the letter columns of early SF
magazines and fanzines, and the first book of commentary
on science fiction in the US was Clyde F. Beck's Hammer
and Tongs, a chapbook of essays originally published in a
fanzine.
The 1940s saw the appearance of three full-scale scholarly
works that treated science fiction and its literary
ancestors: Philip Babcock Gove's The Imaginary Voyage in
Prose Fiction (1941), J. O. Bailey's Pilgrims through
17
Space
and
Time (1948),
and
Nicholson's Voyages to the Moon (1949).
Marjorie
Hope
Peter Nicholls credits Sam Moskowitz with teaching "what

was almost certainly the first Of course in the USA to be
given through a college": a non-credit course in "Science
Fiction Writing" at City College of New York in 1953. The
first regular, for-credit courses were taught by Mark
Hillegas (at Colgate) and H. Bruce Franklin (at Stanford)
in 1961.
During the 1960s, more science fiction scholars began to
move into the academy, founding academic journals devoted
to the exploration of the literature and works of science
fiction.
The
explosion
of film
studies and cultural
studies more
broadly
granted
the
nascent
discipline
additional credibility, and throughout the 1970s and
1980s, mainstream scholars such as Susan Sontag turned
their critical attention to science fiction.
In 1982, James Gunn (now Emeritus Professor) established
the Center for the Study of Science Fiction as a Kansas
Board of Regents Center as a focus for the SF programs he
offered at the University of Kansas, beginning in 1969.
This was the first such SF organization at a major
university.
The 1990s saw the first academic programs and degreegranting programs established, [9] and the field shows

growth,

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
CONCLUSION
Fiction enables people to imagine their selfhood into
circumstances other than the usual. Thereby they extend
their sense of themselves. This is not persuasion. It does
not occur in a particular direction dictated by the writer
of the story. As readers loosen up their own personality,
perhaps to become more like a character in a story, or as
they manually enter situations other than those they are
normally in, they change to become more themselves.
