Abstract
Have you ever seen an emotionally moving film? Many films and narratives have the power to transport the viewer to a different world with an immersive story. The viewer becomes so involved in the plot that they feel as if they may be experiencing the highs and lows with the main characters. Why was that film moving? Green and Brock identified the concept of Transportation in narrative. Transportation leads the viewer to â suspend disbelief, âbe entertained, and even persuaded. Why were you moved, but others were not? Green and Brockâs research studied the effects of various plot devices and narrative voices to determine how a viewer is transported into the story.

Summary
Have you ever seen an emotionally moving film? Many films and narratives have the power to transport the viewer to a different world with an immersive story. Green and Brock identified the concept of Transportation in narrative [1]. Transportation leads the viewer to “suspend disbelief,” be entertained, and even persuaded [2]. Why were YOU moved, but others were not? Green and Brock’s research studied the effects of various plot devices and narrative voices to determine how a viewer is transported into the story. Though Green and Brock took some personality variables into account, the goal of this research is to identify personality variables that may lead to transportation in any narrative (or as later termed, “transportability”) by building a model of transportation. The goal of this study is to answer the question, who is likely to be transported?
