Abstract
Abstract: Narrative messages have demonstrated consistent effects on attitude change, with transportation as one of the most prominent explanations for their effects. However, the transportation process has yet to be fully understood. The present study investigated how attentional changes during audio narrative exposure, operationalized as secondary task reaction times, related to postexposure self-reports of transportation. Results demonstrated, unexpectedly, that faster reaction times were associated with increased transportation. Additionally, the study investigated multitasking propensity as a moderator, finding that low multitaskers exhibited slower reaction times during narrative compared to nonnarrative exposure whereas high multitaskers showed no differences in reaction time for narratives compared to nonnarratives. There were no differences in self-reported transportation for high and low multitaskers. The findings revealed limitations of the transportation self-report measure to capture attention, while highlighting the nuanced relationship between attention and transportation.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Media Psychology (JMP) is committed to publishing original, high-quality papers which cover the broad range of media psychological research. This peer-reviewed journal focuses on how human beings select, use, and experience various media as well as how media (use) can affect their cognitions, emotions, and behaviors. Submissions must substantially advance the current state-of the art on a theoretical and/or an empirical level. To name just a few typical fields and domains of inquiry, the Journal of Media Psychology considers manuscripts dealing with research on entertainment, computer-mediated communication (including social media), human-computer interaction, e-learning, computer and video games, virtual environments, or advertising. The journal is also open to research from neighboring disciplines as far as this work ties in with psychological concepts of the uses and effects of the media. Submissions of comparative work, e.g., crossmedia, cross-gender, or cross-cultural, are encouraged. Moreover, submissions including alternative analysis procedures such as the Bayesian approach are welcome. Starting in 2015, the pre-registration of research plans will also be possible. To ensure short turn-around cycles for manuscript review and fast publication, the Journal of Media Psychology relies heavily upon electronic communication and information exchange, starting from electronic submission and continuing throughout the entire review and production process.
