The present study examined whether emotional text content influences cognitive engagement and transportation during listening (Experiment 1) and reading (Experiment 2) of neutral, horror and erotic stories. In Experiment 1, fluctuation in arousal and cognitive engagement were measured by continuous arousal judgments and head movement recordings during story listening. Participants rated experienced transportation and emotional valence after each story. The results showed that emotional texts were more arousing and induced more transportation than neutral stories. There was less head motion overall and a steeper decrease in head motion across time for erotic than neutral or horror stories. In Experiment 2, participants' head movements and reading times were recorded during reading, and participants rated experienced transportation, arousal, and valence after each text. The results showed that emotional texts were more arousing and induced higher transportation than neutral stories. There was less head motion during reading of erotic than neutral or horror texts. Horror texts were read slower and recalled better than neutral or erotic texts. The present results show that emotional text content impacts cognitive engagement during listening and reading of literary texts and demonstrates the importance of methodological triangulation when examining cognitive engagement.
本研究考察了情感文本内容是否会影响中性、恐怖和色情故事在听（实验 1）和读（实验 2）过程中的认知投入和沉浸度。在实验 1 中，通过连续的唤醒判断和故事聆听过程中的头部运动记录来衡量唤醒和认知投入的波动。参与者在每听完一个故事后，会对体验到的沉浸度和情绪效价进行评价。结果表明，情感文本比中性故事更能引起情绪唤醒，也更能引起沉浸度。总的来说，色情故事的头部运动较少，并且随着时间的推移，头部运动的下降幅度更大。在实验 2 中，参与者在阅读过程中记录了他们的头部运动和阅读时间，并且在阅读完每个文本后，他们会对体验到的沉浸度、唤醒和效价进行评价。结果表明，情感文本比中性故事更能引起情绪唤醒，也更能引起沉浸度。阅读色情文本时的头部运动比阅读中性或恐怖文本时更少。阅读恐怖文本比阅读中性或色情文本时速度更慢，但回忆效果更好。本研究结果表明，情感文本内容会影响文学文本在听和读过程中的认知投入，并表明在考察认知投入时，采用方法三角测量的重要性。
