Raitngs for stories with and without spoilers
Format
A dataset with 12 observations on the following 3 variables.
Story ID for story
Spoiler Average (0-10) rating for spoiler version
Original Average (0-10) rating for original version
Details
This study investigated whether a story spoiler that gives away the ending
early diminishes suspense and hurts enjoyment? For twelve different short
stories, the study's authors created a second version in which a spoiler
paragraph at the beginning discussed the story and revealed the outcome.
Each version of the twelve stories was read by at least 30 people and rated
on a 1 to 10 scale to create an overall rating for the story, with higher
ratings indicating greater enjoyment of the story. Stories 1 to 4 were
ironic twist stories, stories 5 to 8 were mysteries, and stories 9 to 12
were literary stories.
