The Transportation Scale–Short Form (TS–SF) (2015, neutral): “If these types of analyses are the main focus of a particular set of studies, researchers can use the original scale or use other measures designed for that purpose, such as Busselle and Bilandzic’s (2009) narrative engagement scale.”
Empathic reactions after reading: The role of genre, personal factors and affective responses (2015, positive): “…the two, with ‘‘empathy’’ designating the experience of feeling someone else’s feelings (‘‘feeling with’’), and ‘‘sympathy’’ designating the feeling of concern for another, without feeling what the other feels (‘‘feeling for’’) (e.g., Busselle and Bilandzic, 2009; Coplan, 2004; Mar et al., 2011).”
The Use of Media Entertainment and Emotional Gratification (2010, background): “Although the primary focus of this line of research has been on the role of vicarious experiences in mediating persuasion effects, it has also consistently revealed that such experiences can be gratifying for media users (Busselle & Bilandzic, 2009; Green & Brock, 2000; Igartua, 2009).”
Identification as a Mechanism of Narrative Persuasion (2012, methodology): “Busselle and Bilandzic (2009), for instance, showed that their dimension of emotional engagement was correlated more strongly to story-consistent attitudes than the dimension of attentional focus.”
Story Perspective and Character Similarity as Drivers of Identification and Narrative Persuasion (2016, positive): “For narrative persuasion, several studies have shown that emotions are strong predictors of narrative impact (see Busselle & Bilandzic, 2009; De Graaf, Hoeken, Sanders, & Beentjes, 2009).”
An Online Process Model of Second-Order Cultivation Effects: How Television Cultivates Materialism and Its Consequences for Life Satisfaction. (2011, background): “Another potential candidate, and one that has recently received attention from communication scholars (Bilandzic & Busselle, 2008; Busselle & Bilandzic, 2008, 2009), is narrative transportation, or the extent to which viewers become absorbed or ‘‘transported’’ into the narrative (Green & Brock,…”
Effects of "literariness" on emotions and on empathy and reflection after reading (2016, methodology): “The same items and scales were used as in Koopman (2015a), which were in turn inspired by items on previous scales about narrative feelings (Busselle & Bilandzic, 2009; Green & Brock, 2000; Koopman, 2011).”
Experimental Manipulation of Psychological Involvement with Media (2014, background): “Relatively few studies examine transportation in computer mediation literature, which typically looks at presence instead (Busselle & Bilandzic, 2009).”
The Influence of Paratext on Narrative Persuasion: Fact, Fiction, or Fake? (2012, background): “This concept of a holistic experience of being absorbed by a story overlaps to a large degree with other concepts that address the immersion into a story world (e.g., narrative engagement, Busselle & Bilandzic, 2009).”
The Effect of Narrative News Format on Empathy for Stigmatized Groups (2012, background): “Understanding of narrative persuasion might benefit if future research included additional or alternative measures of transportation, such as the scales developed by Busselle and Bilandzic.30 Specifically, their measure conceptualizes and assesses four specific aspects of transportation, including n”
