The Role of a Narrative's Emotional Flow in Promoting Persuasive Outcomes (2015, neutral): “Importantly, individuals who are more transported into a media message show greater attitude and belief change (e.g., Bilandzic & Busselle, 2008; Green, 2004; Green & Brock, 2000; Escalas, 2004; Wang & Calder, 2006).”
Enjoyment of films as a function of narrative experience, perceived realism and transportability (2011, methodology): “External realism was measured using a scale that was adapted to narrative by Green (2004) from a subscale of the perceived reality scale by Elliot, Rudd, and Good (1983).”
Identification with characters and narrative persuasion through fictional feature films (2010, result): “It was observed that the individuals experiencing the greatest transportation during the reading of the text (evaluated by means of a scale or manipulated through instructions) showed a greater degree of agreement with the beliefs implicit in it (Green, 2004; Green and Brock, 2000).”
Measuring Narrative Engagement (2009, background): “…and Brock suggest that transportation into a narrative feels like flow (Green, 2004; Green & Brock, 2000), trecognizing that readers may ‘‘lose track of time, fail to observe events going on around them, and feel they are completely immersed in the world of the narrative’’ (Green, 2004, p. 247).”
The Effect of Embodied Experiences on Self-Other Merging, Attitude, and Helping Behavior (2013, background): “Even a print medium that presents no simulated sensory information can feel relatively realistic when an individual becomes deeply engaged (Green, 2004; Green, Brock, & Kaufman, 2004).”
Transportation and Need for Affect in Narrative Persuasion: A Mediated Moderation Model (2010, methodology): “This general finding raises the question whether there are stable individual dispositions that regularly influence the degree to which an individual experiences transportation and, in turn, is persuaded by a narrative (Green, 2004, 2006).”
Experimental Manipulation of Psychological Involvement with Media (2014, background): “These manipulations assume that such similarities make the narrative more personally relevant, and therefore more transporting (Green, 2004).”
10 The Effects of Engagement with Entertainment (2013, background): “…has examined media involvement in a wide variety of contexts ranging from the impact of short stories on college students’ beliefs about gays (Green, 2004) to the impact of soap-opera exposure on Hispanic women’s awareness of cancer screening (Murphy, Hether, de Castro Buffi ngton,…”
In stories we trust: How narrative apologies provide cover for competitive vulnerability after integrity-violating blog posts (2010, positive): “This engrossing effect commonly is referred to as transportation, which is conceptualized as “an integrative melding of attention, imagery, and feelings, focused on story events” (Green, 2004, p. 248).”
Entertainment is Emotion: The Functional Architecture of the Entertainment Experience (2008, background): “Mind states such as presence (Biocca, 2001) and transportation (Green, 2004; Green & Brock, 2002) increase emotion or are in part synonymous with emotion (Epstein, 1994).”
Exploring the link between reading fiction and empathy: Ruling out individual differences and examining outcomes (2009, background): “Several researchers have demonstrated that exposure to narrative fiction can influence our attitudes toward various issues (Green, 2004; Green and Brock, 2000; Prentice, Gerrig, and Bailis, 1997; Strange and Leung, 1999).”
Identification as a Mechanism of Narrative Persuasion (2012, background): “Some research has shown that this narrative experience can indeed influence persuasive outcomes (Green, 2004; Green & Brock, 2000).”
