Multiple literacy programmes embed a choice of reading material into their programmes, as this is believed to enhance motivation for reading. Yet, this practice has not been experimentally evaluated. Is choice effective at boosting reading motivation? Is the nature of choice provided important? Using a new experimental paradigm to tap reading motivation, we assessed whether reading enjoyment and willingness to pay for books were influenced by having: (a) a choice of book; or (b) a choice of book genre. Having choice increased both reading enjoyment and the amount participants were willing to pay for books. Our results show that choice boosts enjoyment for reading. This has implications for the design of literacy programmes, indicating that incorporating choice in such programmes is beneficial.
期刊介绍：
Promoting the interests of scientific psychology and its researchers, QJEP, the journal of the Experimental Psychology Society, is a leading journal with a long-standing tradition of publishing cutting-edge research. Several articles have become classic papers in the fields of attention, perception, learning, memory, language, and reasoning. The journal publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology (including comparative research). These include substantial experimental reports, review papers, rapid communications (reporting novel techniques or ground breaking results), comments (on articles previously published in QJEP or on issues of general interest to experimental psychologists), and book reviews. Experimental results are welcomed from all relevant techniques, including behavioural testing, brain imaging and computational modelling.
QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Rapid Communications have priority in the publication cycle and usually appear in print within three months. We aim to publish all accepted (but uncorrected) articles online within seven days. Our Latest Articles page offers immediate publication of articles upon reaching their final form.
The journal offers an open access option called Open Select, enabling authors to meet funder requirements to make their article free to read online for all in perpetuity. Authors also benefit from a broad and diverse subscription base that delivers the journal contents to a world-wide readership. Together these features ensure that the journal offers authors the opportunity to raise the visibility of their work to a global audience.
