“…Appel and Richter, 2007;Strange and Leung, 1999), attitudes (e.g. Diekman, McDonald and Gardner, 2000;Lee and Leets, 2004), and behavioral intentions (e. g. Massi-Lindsey and Ah Yun, 2005;Slater, Rouner and Long, 2006). Given this persuasive potential of stories, interest in the process of narra tive persuasion has grown over the last decade and several models have been developed to explain the persuasive effects of narratives.…”

“…For example, unprotected sex is perceived to promote intimacy, romance, and trust (Diekman, McDonald, & Gardner, 2000;Hynie, Lydon, Cote, & Weiner, 1998;Sobo, 1995). Since the most prevalent route (78%) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission in women is sex with infected men (Centers for Disease Control Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2006), these concerns present implications for the design of relevant clinical interventions.…”

This study explored reasons women engaged in unprotected sex with male partners they distrusted and perceived to engage in HIV risk behaviors. Seven focus groups were held in public housing and neighborhood centers in the urban Northeast with 43 African American and Latina women. Content analysis was conducted by open and axial coding. Barrett's theory of power as knowing participation in change and sex script theory guided interpretation. Results indicated that Patterns of Unprotected Sex is a usual practice to maintain hope, sensuality, intimacy, strategic gain, and stability with a male partner. In low power sex scripts the salient risks of HIV were buried under an awareness of oneself as having to satisfy a man and accept cheating. High power sex scripts involved women's awareness of themselves as worthy of self care with diverse choices. High power scripts can be integrated into normative sex scripts as exemplars of more powerful ways of being and acting to reduce HIV risk.

De effecten van verhalen blijken bovendien relatief langdurig (Appel & Richter, 2007) en onafhankelijk van de vraag of het om verzonnen of waargebeurde verhalen gaat (Appel & Maleckar, 2012;Green & Brock, 2000).…”

There is ample empirical evidence for the fact that narratives can influence an audience’s attitudes. In this study, we address the question as to whether the persuasive impact of stories can be explained by the emotions evoked as a result of the audience identifying with the protagonist. In an experiment, the extent to which participants identified with a character was manipulated through portraying the character as more or less sympathetic. The resulting difference in identification with this character did not only result in experiencing more intense emotions but also in a more favorable attitude. Mediation analyses revealed that the impact on the attitude was mediated by the extent to which emotions were evoked, which in turn was mediated by the extent to which participants identified with the character. The extent to which participants perceived the story as realistic proved a mediating variable as well in explaining the impact on the attitude. The results of this study shed more light on an important mechanism of narrative persuasion.
