Four trait empathy dimensions are discussed to determine if they have unique influence on if and when the audience shares the emotions and mental states of characters, or trigger involuntary autobiographical memories (IAMs), and experience parasocial interaction. Additionally, television and movie producers use camera angles and other production techniques to create shifting perspectives which influence various dimensions of empathy and influence how and when the audience shares the emotions and mental states of characters, or reflect upon their own. Study 1 demonstrates a positive relationship between trait perspective taking and trait personal distress and IAMs. Study 2 demonstrates significant but mixed relationships between camera angles, scene affect, and trait emotional concern and trait personal distress. Study 3 found no relationship between any IRI components and parasocial interaction; or IAMs and parasocial interaction. Limitations and future research considerations are discussed. 2013-08-27 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1367501115 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1367501115 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
