Rapp, David N.; Hinze, Scott R.; Slaten, Daniel G.; Horton, William S. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2014
Authors of fiction need not provide accurate accounts of the world, which might generate concern about the kinds of information people can acquire from narratives.

Jensen, Jakob; Imboden, Kristen; Ivic, Rebecca – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2011
High sensation seekers (HSS) prefer messages that allow them to maintain an optimal level of arousal (i.e., highly arousing messages). Transportation theory suggests that narrative immersion in a story may moderate reader arousal, and thus HSS message selection. To test this idea, a survey was administered to 120 fourth and fifth graders. In…
