Abstract
This study was aimed at investigating whether Internet fiction reading had a negative impact on adolescents’ self-concept clarity, and tested the mediating role of narrative transportation. A sample of 745 adolescent students (366 females, 379 males; mean age=14.47, SD age=1.56 years, range: 10–17 years) were recruited. They completed questionnaires including Internet fiction reading scale (frequency and engagement), self-concept clarity scale, and narrative transportation scale. The results showed that Internet fiction reading could negatively influence self-concept clarity significantly, and totally through the mediating effects of narrative transportation. The present findings suggested the importance of Internet fiction reading and narrative transportation for adolescents’ self-concept development in China.
