A Survey of Presence and Related Concepts (2017, methodology): “In a state of transportation, “[T]he reader loses access to some real-world facts in favor of accepting the narrative world that the author has created...transported readers may experience strong emotions and motivations, even when they know the events in the story are not real” [58].”
Counterfactual thinking, persistence, and performance: A test of the Reflection and Evaluation Model (2008, background): “In a sense, the student is ‘‘transported’’ into the counterfactual world (Green & Brock, 2000).”

Persuasive Effects of Fictional Narratives Increase Over Time (2007, positive): “…persuasive effects emerged across settings (Wheeler et al., 1999), across participants with a low or a high disposition to process information thoroughly (Green & Brock, 2000; Wheeler et al., 1999), and across participants with and without prior experience with the story topic (Green, 2004).”
