Evoking and Measuring Identification with Narrative Characters – A Linguistic Cues Framework

Abstract: Current research on identification with narrative characters poses two problems. First, although identification is seen as a dynamic process of which the intensity varies during reading, it is usually measured by means of post-reading questionnaires containing self-report items. Second, it is not clear which linguistic characteristics evoke identification. The present paper proposes that an interdisciplinary framework allows for more precise manipulations and measurements of identification, which will ultimate… Show more

“…Another important aspect for SAs of entire books concerns the emotional and figure personality profiles for main characters as computed by an extended SentiArt algorithm [13]. These profiles can help in predicting the empathy for and identification with story characters, which undoubtedly are an important factor influencing readers' sentiments and moods during the reading of entire novels [67].…”

“…Understanding the beliefs, intentions and thoughts of fictional characters is vital to the experience of being in a fiction world, and it is fair to say that mentalising is an important aspect of literary reading (see, e.g. Bruner, 1986;Burke, 2011;Hartung, Burke, Hagoort, & Willems, 2016;Oatley, 2012;van Krieken, Hoeken, & Sanders, 2017).…”

“…Studies in this direction could combine online and offline measures to assess the nature of consumers’ hero enactment. For example, the use of fMRI techniques can provide insight into consumers’ enactment of the hero’s actions, galvanic skin response and heart rate measures can tap into the enactment of the hero’s emotional experiences, and implicit association tests can measure the enactment of the hero’s moral considerations (see Van Krieken et al, 2017 ).…”

“…The concept of archetype enactment helps to understand the process via which brand stories affect the relation between consumer and brand ( Woodside et al, 2008 ; Woodside, 2010 ). When enacting an archetype in a story, consumers adopt the role of a narrative character and vicariously experience in cognitive, emotional, moral or even embodied way, the narrated actions and events ( Efthimiou, 2016 ; Sanders, 2017 ; Van Krieken et al, 2017 ). Enacting an archetype implies that the consumer is not a passive audience member, but, via simulation, an active participant in the story (cf.…”
