Studying Emotional Flow within Narratives
Montag, 04.11.2019, 18.30 Uhr
Dies war der dritte Vortrag im Rahmen der Ringvorlesung. Dieser Vortrag fand in Hörsaal H09 im C.A.R.L. (Claßenstraße 11) statt.
Much of the power of stories comes from their emotional impact. Emotional shifts can occur throughout a story; a narrative may move from a lower intensity of emotion to a higher intensity, or change from positive to negative. This emotional flow can influence attention to the narrative as well as narrative outcomes. In this talk, I will present theories of emotional flow effects, studies examining outcomes of different emotional trajectories, and ways of manipulating and measuring emotional flow.
