Fictional Narratives Cultivate Just‐World Beliefs (2008, positive): “This could also connect the present research more to the persuasion literature, which has identified the state of transportation as a mediating factor for fictional belief change (Gerrig, 1993; Green & Brock, 2000, 2002).”
On Being Moved by Art: How Reading Fiction Transforms the Self (2009, methodology): “The schematic constructions of others that are used in everyday life are the same as those used when understanding a piece of fictional literature (Gerrig, 1998).”

Transportation and Need for Affect in Narrative Persuasion: A Mediated Moderation Model (2010, methodology): “The major theoretical accounts (Gerrig, 1993; Green & Brock, 2002) describe transportation as a holistic experiential state in which emotional, attentional, and cognitive components are closely interwoven with each other (recent empirical work by Busselle & Bilandzic, 2009, supports this view).”

The Extended Transportation-Imagery Model: A Meta-Analysis of the Antecedents and Consequences of Consumers' Narrative Transportation (2014, positive): “The mental state of narrative transportation can explain the persuasive effect of stories on consumers (Gerrig 1993), who may experience narrative transportation when certain contextual and personal preconditions are met, as Green and Brock (2002) postulate for the transportation-imagery model.”
Narrative Planning: Balancing Plot and Character (2010, methodology): “One of the reasons for the prevalence of storytelling in human culture may be due to the way in which narrative is a cognitive tool for situated understanding (Bruner, 1990; McKoon & Ratcliff, 1992; Gerrig, 1993, 1994; Graesser, Singer, & Trabasso, 1994).”
