一项实验验证了这一假设，即在实验室条件下，ART可以导致一个人对自己个性特征的体验发生重大变化。在完成了一系列问卷，包括五大调查问卷(BFI)和情绪检查表后，实验组阅读了契诃夫的短篇小说《女士和玩具狗》，而控制组阅读了与故事内容相同但形式上是纪录片的对比文本。对比文本的长度、可读性、复杂性和兴趣程度都受到了控制。然后，参与者再次完成BFI和情绪检查表，随机放置在一组更大的问卷中。结果表明，实验组在人格特质的自我报告体验上的变化显著大于对照组，并且情绪变化在ART对特质的影响中起中介作用。应进一步考虑艺术在促进人格成长和成熟过程中的作用。
An experiment tested the hypothesis that art can cause significant changes in the experience of one's own personality traits under laboratory conditions. After completing a set of questionnaires, including the Big-Five Inventory (BFI) and an emotion checklist, the experimental group read the short story The Lady With the Toy Dog by Chekhov, while the control group read a comparison text that had the same content as the story, but was documentary in form. The comparison text was controlled for length, readability, complexity, and interest level. Participants then completed again the BFI and emotion checklist, randomly placed within a larger set of questionnaires. The results show the experimental group experienced significantly greater change in self-reported experience of personality traits than the control group, and that emotion change mediated the effect of art on traits. Further consideration should be given to the role of art in the facilitation of processes of personality growth and maturation.
