Exploring Subtext Processing in Narrative Persuasion: The Role of Eudaimonic Entertainment-Use Motivation and a Supplemental Conclusion Scene

This study sought to expand current narrative persuasion models by examining the role of subtext processing. The extended elaboration likelihood model suggests that transportation leads to persuasion by reducing counterarguments to stories' persuasive subtexts. The model implicitly argues that transportation should reduce total subtext processing, including counterarguments and intended elaboration. But this study reasoned that people with stronger eudaimonic motivation to have meaningful entertainment experiences, would put more effort into processing stories' subtexts while engaging with the narrative. Because less eudaimonically motivated individuals may be at risk for missing the subtext, it was also expected that adding a supplemental conclusion scene that reiterates the intended message would facilitate persuasion.Following a pre-test survey, 201 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to view an episode of the crime drama Numb3rs: one of two versions of "Harvest," designed to promote organ donation (with or without a conclusion scene), or a control episode. After viewing, participants completed a thought-listing task and second survey.Results show that "Harvest" did not result in persuasive outcomes related to organ donation. Transportation was a marginally significant positive predictor of total subtext processing. Contrary to predictions, eudaimonic motivation negatively predicted amount of total subtext processing.Eudaimonic motivation also negatively (but marginally) predicted doctor mistrust, but this effect was moderated by conclusion condition: eudaimonic motivation was negatively associated with doctor mistrust only in the no conclusion condition. Eudaimonic motivation was also negatively (but marginally) associated with intended elaboration. Further examination showed that, compared to people with low eudaimonic motivation, those with high eudaimonic motivation were less likely to engage in intended elaboration, but only in the no conclusion condition. This pattern of findings provides indirect evidence that intended elaboration was responsible for decreasing doctor mistrust among people with high eudaimonic motivation who saw the conclusion. But surprisingly, intended elaboration was not directly related to any persuasive outcomes.The findings tentatively suggest that transportation and subtext processing can coexist and that eudaimonic motivation can affect the extent to which viewers engage in subtext processing during narrative engagement. The results also indicate that supplemental conclusions may be useful tools for narrative persuasion. Nobody has influenced my development as a scholar more than Cindy Hoffner. Her research and teaching inspired me, and her mentorship gave me the skills, professional socialization, and confidence to become an independent scholar. This dissertation is a direct product of her hours of dedication, her firm guidance, her unrelenting patience, and her unwavering faith in me.

“…Gender is one approach to understand this attitude–behavior gap. For example, typical living organ donors are women between the age of 35 and 49 (Biller‐Andorno, ), However, concerning the role of gender in cadaveric organ donation, inconsistent results have been reported: While some studies provided evidence that women are more willing to donate than men (Carducci, Deuser, Bauer, Large, & Ramaekers, ; Decker, Winter, Brähler, & Beutel, ; Mocan & Tekin, ; Radecki & Jaccard, ; Thompson, Robinson, & Kenny, ), hold higher positive attitudes (Östergren & Gäbel, ), and sign organ donor cards more often than men (Boulware et al., , Black Americans; Thornton et al., ; Weber & Martin, ), other studies found neither gender differences in organ donation willingness (Keller et al., ; Krampen & Junk, ) nor in organ donor card possession (Boulware et al., , White Americans; Decker et al., ).…”

Organ donation: the role of gender in the attitude–behavior relationship

Positive attitudes toward organ donation often do not translate into behavior. The present study analyzes gender as a moderator of the attitude-behavior relationship. Due to helping behavior stereotypes, we expected women to show higher donation attitudes but a weaker attitude-behavior link than men. In Germany, 60 women and 61 men participated in a questionnaire survey. Indeed, women showed higher positive attitudes, empathy, and norms compared to men. While intention to card signing seemed unaffected by gender, the moderator effect was confirmed: The link between attitudes and intention to sign was stronger for men than women. In predicting behavior, the moderator effect showed a trend toward significance. The results provide a new understanding of the link between donation attitudes and behavior.Despite strong positive attitudes toward organ donation, only comparatively few individuals actually sign an organ donor card. For example, in Germany, only 25% of the general public has signed a donor card although the majority (74%) is willing to donate (BZgA, 2010). Gender is one approach to understand this attitude-behavior gap. For example, typical living organ donors are women between the age of 35 and 49 (Biller-Andorno, 2002), However, concerning the role of gender in cadaveric organ donation, inconsistent results have been reported: While some studies provided evidence that women are more willing to donate than men (Carducci,
