“…These were measures adopted from social judgment literature that (in general) ask participants to assess the perceived realism of television shows. 21 Mean engagement and realism scores are reported in Table 4. Students agreed or strongly agreed that completion of the simulated patient case precipitated increased interest (75%), enjoyment (71%), relevance (68%), and realism (75%) of the learning experience when compared to the previously completed paper immunization patient case.…”

Objective. To evaluate online case simulation vs a paper case on student confidence and engagement. Design. Students enrolled in a pharmacotherapy laboratory course completed a patient case scenario as a component of an osteoarthritis laboratory module. Two laboratory sections used a paper case (n553); three sections used an online virtual case simulation (n581). Student module performance was assessed through a submitted subjective objective assessment plan (SOAP) note. Students completed pre/post surveys to measure self-perceived confidence in providing medication management. The simulation group completed postmodule questions related to realism and engagement of the online virtual case simulation. Group assessments were performed using chi-square and Mann Whitney tests. Assessment. A significant increase in all 13 confidence items was seen in both student groups following completion of the laboratory module. The simulation group had an increased change of confidence compared to the paper group in assessing medication efficacy and documenting a thorough assessment. Comparing the online virtual simulation to a paper case, students agreed the learning experience increased interest, enjoyment, relevance, and realism. The simulation group performed better on the subjective SOAP note domain though no differences in total SOAP note scores was found between the two groups. Conclusion. Virtual case simulations result in increased student engagement and may lead to improved documentation performance in the subjective domain of SOAP notes. However, virtual patient cases may offer limited benefit over paper cases in improving overall student self-confidence to provide medication management.

“…Narrative realism reflects the internal coherence and logic of the story, whether the relationships among characters, story events, and plot fit together in reasonable ways. According to these authors, viewers of fiction are not blank slates, but rather they have mental models of the real world (Oatley, 2002; R. W. Busselle & Greenberg, 2000;R. Busselle, 2001; R. Busselle & Bilandzic, 2008).…”

“…Thus viewers highest in measures of the concept of perceived realism should be the most likely to be influenced by the fiction, even adopting conspiratorial views about government. (M. C. ; M. C. Green, Brock, & Kaufman, 2004;R. Busselle, 2001;Slater, Rouner, & Long, 2006).…”

The Implications of Fictional Media for Political Beliefs

Most research on media effects in political science deals with the news media or political campaigns. While some recent work looks at the effects of soft news on beliefs and opinions, little attention has been paid to the potential consequences of media that are fictional. Although viewers typically watch fiction for entertainment, the themes, plots, and dialogue may nevertheless influence their thoughts about politics. This paper examines the effects of fiction on political beliefs. We do this in the context of an experimental design, where subjects in the treatment group watched the outlandish movie, Wag the Dog. The results show that those who watched the film were more likely to believe in a far-fetched conspiracy, namely that the U.S. government has and will fabricate a war for political gain. The findings stretch the boundaries of fictional influence by focusing on extreme, conspiratorial beliefs. We suggest that political science and communications scholars should focus greater attention on the implications of fiction for beliefs and attitudes, as the consequences can be perverse.

“…For more detailed discussions, refer to Shapiro and McDonald (1992), Busselle (2001), Shrum (2002), , and Shapiro and Chock (2003). For the purposes of this study, we confine ourselves to arguing that at least two levels should be taken into account: (a) Readers and viewers will attribute realism to a media product at a contextual level such as genre or program type (e.g., a news item, science fiction), and (b) they will attribute a perceived degree of realism of the features presented within that context, which we refer to as epistemic appraisals (e.g., "this character is like reality itself").…”
