“…In addition, the aspect of boredom susceptibility in sensation-seeking and the aspect of communication in service literacy are compatible, that is, when the driver/ rider feels bored with routineness, he/she will try something new, by increasing relationships with fellow online driver/riders, by forming communities, through to developing relationships with his passengers and others in the vicinity, to reduce these feelings of boredom. The research investigating sensation-seeking and literacy was published by Jensen et al (2011), which stated that sensation-seeking by reading outside of the classroom and transport can raise the level of literacy.…”

“…The relationships between the variables of sensation-seeking and literacy was examined by Jensen, Imboden, and Ivic (2011), who stated that when an individual seeks new sensations by engaging in activities which are outside the norm, this may increase his knowledge, however the relationships between the variables of organizational citizenship behavior and literacy have never previously been investigated. Nonetheless, there was similar research performed which described both, conducted by Williams and Shiaw in 1999, which stated that people want to raise the level of the image of their companies, so they will find out the things they need to do to create a good image.…”

Besides being of benefit, online transport services in Indonesia also receive complaints from customers. It is not surprising that online transport service businesses have striven to improve their services by introducing electronic features, which are hoped to be able to improve feelings of being safe and comfortable, amongst users. This research assumes that the increases in electronic features are necessary, but insufficient. These features need to be supplemented by the service literacy of the driver/riders. The goal of this research is to attempt to test correlational hypotheses concerning the relationships between the three psychological variables, service resilience, organizational citizenship behavior and sensation-seeking; and service literacy. The research, conducted with 272 driver/riders (255 males, 17 females; Mage = 32.8 years old, SDage = 8.028 years) of online motorcycle taxis (ojek), indicated that those hypotheses were supported by empirical data.

“…Narrative transportation, however, as developed by Green, Brock, and Kaufman (2004), is a conceptual lens for describing how deeply and attentively a reader enters a text and engages the written word. In several recent studies (Gerrig & Egidi, 2010;Green & Brock, 2004;Jensen, Imboden, & Ivic, 2011), researchers found that some young readers enter or transport into texts more deeply than others. Some children described themselves as being in the story or being able to see the story world very clearly.…”

“…In narrative transportation theory, individuals who transport deeply into the story world engage with the characters and events that occur in that world. In several studies, scholars found that young readers described a sense of being present in the story and of seeing themselves as one of the characters (Green, Brock, & Kaufman, 2004;Jensen, Imboden, & Ivic, 2011;Murphy, Frank, Moran, & Patnoe-Woodley, 2011).…”

“…novel as opposed to film). Other studies have examined the relationship between the presence of individual personality traits and tendencies towards identification and fantasy (Cheetham and Jancke, 2014), or between individual personality traits and the reading habits of sensation-seeking children (Jensen, Imboden, & Ivic, 2011). More recently, there has been an interest in how individual differences in transportability and presence predict identification with video game avatars (Christy & Fox, 2016).…”

Transportation, the experience of feeling "transported" into a fictional world, differs widely across individuals. We examined transportation in 3 studies. Study 1 investigated links between individual differences in various measures of audience response, whereas the latter 2 studies examined links between trait measures (independent variables) and audience response (dependent variables). Study 1 found that individual differences in self-reported transportation to a film explained variation in virtually all other dependent measures, such as identification with characters, emotion, and attribution of blame for the protagonist's struggles. Group bonding after watching the film was non-linearly related to endorphin response (as measured by pain threshold), and transportation related to these variables as well (although more weakly). Study 2 found that individual differences in celebrity worship predicted transportation, as well as tendency to identify with the characters and approve of their behavior. Study 3 demonstrated that individual differences in trait measures of sensation seeking and empathy independently predicted viewers' transportation in two very different film genres. Transportation measures for both films were highly correlated, suggesting that tendency to be transported may be less genrespecific than other dependent measures. Altogether, these results illustrate the usefulness of individual differences approaches in the psychological study of fiction.
