Psychological Reactance From Reading Basic Facts on Climate Change: The Role of Prior Views and Political Identification (2018, background): “These items, which were taken from an existing scale (Moyer-Gusé & Nabi, 2010), asked respondents whether they felt pressure to think a certain way about climate change, whether they feel others are trying to force their opinions on them about climate change, and whether they are being manipulated…”
Story Perspective and Character Similarity as Drivers of Identification and Narrative Persuasion (2016, positive): “Several studies have reported positive correlations between perceived similarity and identification (e.g., Moyer-Gusé & Nabi, 2010; Murphy et al., 2013; Pinkleton, Austin, & Van de Vord, 2010).”
Identification as a Mechanism of Narrative Persuasion (2012, background): “This phenomenon has been termed “narrative persuasion” and has attracted research interest from various disciplines such as health communication (Green, 2006), entertainment-education (Morgan, Movius, & Cody, 2009; Moyer-Gusé & Nabi, 2010), and cultivation research (Busselle & Bilandzic, 2008).”
Experimental Manipulation of Psychological Involvement with Media (2014, background): “First, Orwin’s (1983) fail-safe N represents the number of hypothetical null-result studies that should exist (but were not included) in the meta-analysis to critically diminish the mean effect observed in the review.”
Legitimacy through CSR disclosures? The advantage outweighs the disadvantages (2016, background): “Reactance is a psychological defense reaction to everything that threatens personal freedoms, including persuasive messages (Brehm & Brehm, 1981; pp. 121–150; Meirick & Nisbett, 2011; Moyer-Gusé, Jain, & Chung, 2010; Moyer-Gusé & Nabi, 2010).”
Helpful or Harmful? How Frequent Repetition Affects Perceived Statement Credibility (2013, background): “Moyer-Gusé and Nabi (2010) as well as Moyer-Gusé et al. (2012) demonstrate that recognizing persuasive intentions triggers reactance.”
A 50-Year Review of Psychological Reactance Theory: Do Not Read This Article (2017, background): “In one study, Moyer-Guse and Nabi (2010) examined how features of a story (e.g., narrative transportation, Green & Brock, 2000) could mitigate resistance to persuasion.”
The Influence of Paratext on Narrative Persuasion: Fact, Fiction, or Fake? (2012, positive): “…to mediate the impact of narratives on recipients beliefs, except for some tentative support of counterarguing reduction (Green & Brock, 2000) and identification (de Graaf, Hoeken, Sanders, & Beentjes, 2011; see also Moyer-Gusé & Nabi, 2010, for the relationship between potential process measures).”
The Transportation Scale–Short Form (TS–SF) (2015, neutral): “Several numbers of items can be found, ranging from 14 (Appel & Richter, 2010), 13 (Richter et al., 2014), 12 (Dahlstrom, 2010, 2012), and 10 items (Dunlop, Wakefield, & Kashima, 2010), to forms of only 7 (Moyer-Guse & Nabi, 2010) or even 3 items (Escalas, 2004, 2007).”
Changing Real‐World Beliefs With Controversial Movies: Processes and Mechanisms of Narrative Persuasion (2012, background): “…as follows: When people identify with the characters, their capacity to generate criticism and counterarguments to the persuasive content of the message is reduced, and therefore their resistance to the persuasion is weakened (Dal Cin et al., 2002; Moyer-Gusé, 2008; Moyer-Gusé & Nabi, 2010).”
Using narratives and storytelling to communicate science with nonexpert audiences (2014, background): “One of the few factors that has been found to hinder narrative persuasion is when the persuasive intent becomes obvious and audiences react against being manipulated (56).”
