2021
We propose a methodology that enables measuring engagement of spectators in a social digital game combining physiological and self-reported data. As this digital game involves a group of freely moving people, the experience is filmed using a synchronizing technique that links physiological data with events in the game.

Source: Heidbuechel, J. P., et al. Paramyxoviruses for Tumor-targeted Immunomodulation: Design and Evaluation Ex Vivo. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).This video demonstrates a cell-based assay to evaluate the target-specific immunomodulatory activity of a virally encoded bispecific T-cell engager (BTE). The BTE links tumor cells expressing a target receptor with T cells, triggering tumor lysis and enzyme release. A colorimetric readout, based on substrate conversion, indicates T-cell activation.

FAQs
Narrative transportation can deepen involvement by drawing attention into the story and supporting immersion in its story world. As attention becomes focused, audiences may process information through the narrative rather than as detached facts. This pathway helps explain why a story can shape beliefs, attitudes, and intentions while also making its content easier to remember.
Character identification links the audience’s experience to the people presented in the story, while emotional response adds affective significance. Together, these processes can make narrative information feel personally relevant rather than abstract. In behavioral research, that relevance helps explain how engagement may extend beyond attention to influence attitudes, intentions, and possible social behavior.
Mental models are internally constructed representations of the story world. They allow audiences to organize events, relationships, and meaning as the narrative unfolds, giving information a coherent structure. This organization is important for behavioral research because it helps explain why engaged audiences may retain narrative content and connect it with beliefs, intentions, or social behavior.
Evaluation should look beyond whether people paid attention to a story. Researchers can examine changes or associations involving beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and social behavior, because these outcomes represent different ways narrative experiences may matter. Considering several outcomes also helps distinguish simple recall of information from broader behavioral relevance in communication or intervention research.
Narrative engagement is especially relevant when a message must connect information with people’s understanding and potential actions. Supported applications include health communication, education, public campaigns, and interventions designed to encourage constructive behavioral change. In each setting, the concept provides a framework for considering whether a story makes information more personally relevant, memorable, and behaviorally meaningful.
Designers can use the concept to ask whether a story supports attention, emotional involvement, identification with characters, and a coherent understanding of the story world. Those features can inform how messages are shaped and evaluated, particularly when the goal is constructive change. The relevant outcome is not engagement alone, but its connection to beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and social behavior.
