Proportion ‘yes’ responses for the story response question (SRQ) and narrative engagement (NE) scores separated by excerpt type (Western vs. Chinese) for the three groups of listeners (Arkansas, Dimen, Michigan) are shown in panels a, b, respectively. Listeners from Arkansas and Michigan were more likely to imagine a story for Western excerpts than for Chinese excerpts, while listeners from Dimen were more likely to imagine a story for Chinese excerpts than for Western excerpts. NE scores followed a similar pattern for all three groups. Participants in the Arkansas and Michigan groups had higher NE scores for Western excerpts than for Chinese excerpts, while the reverse was true for the Dimen group
