摘要

In a sample of 295 native Farsi speaking children between 6 and 10 years, we investigated to what extent children experienced aesthetic emotions during story listening. Since previous research has shown that aesthetic evaluation has dispositional components, we also investigated the influence of child-reported attachment security and mother-reported child empathy on the experience of aesthetic emotions and story liking. By means of a multiple mediator model, we tested how aesthetic emotions acted as mediators of the relationship of attachment security and empathy with story liking. Results showed that attachment security was related to more pleasing and captivating emotions (with a trend for less negative emotions), and thereby, increased story liking. Empathy was linked to emotions of affinity, but these did not predict story liking, resulting in a nonsignificant effect of empathy on story liking.
