Appreciation as Audience Response: Exploring Entertainment Gratifications beyond Hedonism. (2010, background): “The conceptualization of "entertainment-as-pleasure" is also echoed in disposition theory (Bryant & Miron, 2002; Raney, 2003; Zillmann & Bryant, 1986)—focused on individuals' responses to entertainment (rather than on their selection specifically).”
Orientations to Video Games Among Gender and Age Groups (2010, background): “In a somewhat different approach, Bryant and Zillmann repeatedly have posited a need for further study of the entertainment experience of games (e.g., Bryant, 2004, Bryant & Miron, 2002; Zillmann & Vorderer, 2000).”
Defining Media Enjoyment as the Satisfaction of Intrinsic Needs (2010, background): “…most scholars seem to agree that enjoyment is a pleasurable response to media use (cf. Raney, 2003; Vorderer, Klimmt, & Ritterfield, 2004; Zillmann & Bryant, 1994), researchers have defined it alternately as an emotion (Vorderer et al., 2004), an attitude (Nabi & Krcmar, 2004), a…”

Sensation seeking, perceived message sensation value, personal involvement, and processing of anti-marijuana PSAs (2001, background): “Zillmann and Bryant (1994) suggest that “enjoyment depends not so much on conflict as on its resolution and on what the resolution means to the parties involved” (p. 447).”
Persuasive Effects of Fictional Narratives Increase Over Time (2007, unknown): “…recipients of the truth of factual claims or the appropriateness of ethical and political claims, fictional narratives are usually written for purposes other than persuasion (most notably entertainment, Bryant & Miron, 2002) and typically do not contain arguments associated with truth claims.”
Some Like It Bad: Testing a Model for Perceiving and Experiencing Fictional Characters (2005, background): “Likewise, studies in affective disposition theory (e.g., Bryant & Miron, 2002; Raney & Bryant, 2002; Zillmann, 1991; Zillmann & Cantor, 1977) reported that not all affective responses to FCs could be explained by empathetic theories.”
