Empathy in the Face of Death: Fear Transcendence Effects are Conditional on Empathizing with Movie Characters in Eudaimonic Entertainment
The Terror Management Theory of Media Entertainment (TMT-ME) proposes that death portrayals in eudaimonic entertainment can invite viewers to face their fear of death and transcend it. Although empirical evidence supports this idea, evidence for the process of fear transcendence is lacking. This study assessed the TMT-ME proposition that active engagement with a movie is a prerequisite for fear transcendence and additionally explored if different…
When Meaningful Movies Invite Fear Transcendence: An Extended Terror Management Account of the Function of Death in Movies
Meaningful movies can serve as an anxiety buffer against the fear of death, unless death plays a central role in the movie. This invites the question what happens when death is central to a movie storyline. The present research introduces and tests the so-called fear transcendence route , a second terror management route in which meaningful movies about death invite viewers to virtually confront and transcend their fear of death. Two experiments …
Portrayals of threatened needs and human virtue: A review of the content of eudaimonic entertainment
The present review examines whether commonalities and differences can be detected in the content of eudaimonic entertainment. We focused on two features: the fundamental human needs that were threatened, and the specific virtues that were portrayed. The results showed that the examined materials often included a combination of portrayals of threats to the fundamental human needs for safety, health and relatedness, and portrayals of the virtue of …

Characteristics of narrative interventions and health effects: A review of the content, form, and context of narratives in health-related narrative persuasion research
In recent years, many studies have been conducted on persuasive effects of narratives in a health context. A striking feature of this research area is the diversity of the narratives that are used in the various studies. Narratives that convey a health message differ widely on a large number of dimensions related to the content, form and context. We expect that these characteristics are potential explanatory factors in the effectiveness of the na…
The Differential Impact of Statistical and Narrative Evidence on Beliefs, Attitude, and Intention: A Meta-Analysis
The effects of narrative versus non-narrative information in school health education about alcohol drinking for low educated adolescents
It is concluded non-narrative and narrative information are equally effective in the context of school health education, suggesting the claims that scholars have made about the superior effects of narrative texts are not true. Given the fact that narrative texts are more expensive to develop, policy makers may not be advised to prefer these types of texts over the traditionally used non-narrative texts
The Effectiveness of Adaptation of the Protagonist in Narrative Impact: Similarity Influences Health Beliefs Through Self-Referencing
This study tests whether the adaptation of a narrative's protagonist to be similar to readers increases narrative effects in the health domain. A between-subjects (N = 220) experiment was conducted that varied the similarity of the protagonist to the participants. Results showed that participants who read the version with a similar protagonist perceived themselves to be more at risk of the disease with which the protagonist was diagnosed and felt…
Identification as a Mechanism of Narrative Persuasion
To provide a causal test of identification as a mechanism of narrative persuasion, this study uses the perspective from which a story is told to manipulate identification experimentally and test effects on attitudes. In experiment 1, 120 participants read a story that was told either from the perspective of one character or another character, with both characters having opposing goals. Results showed that perspective influenced identification and…
Short term effects of air pollution on emergency hospital admissions for respiratory disease: Results of the Aphea project in two major cities in The Netherlands, 1977-89
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the short term relationship between air pollution and the daily number of emergency hospital admissions for respiratory disease. DESIGN: Data were analysed using autoregressive Poisson regression allowing for overdispersion and controlling for possible confounding factors such as seasonal and other chronological variables, meteorological factors, and influenza epidemics. SETTING: The two major cities in The Netherlands-…
