| 520 | |a To explore imagery and emotional involvement in reading, a study examined readers' imagery and emotional responses through the use of ratings for each paragraph in a story. Subjects, 40 undergraduate volunteers recruited from education classes, read a 2100-word excerpt from the novel "Buffalo Chief" by Jean and Paul Annixter. Students read a brief practice story to become familiar with the computer's presentation of the text, followed by the experimental passage. For both passages, the text was presented so that although an entire "page" of text was present on the screen (so that the reader could get information regarding word and paragraph lengths), only one line was readable at a time. The reader controlled which line of text was legible. After reading the experimental passage, subjects reported any images or emotional reactions they experienced while reading the story. Finally, students rated their imagery and emotional responses. For the rating task, the story was again presented on the computer, one paragraph at a time. Beneath each paragraph, rating scales appeared on which readers rated their imagery and emotional responses to the paragraph on five-point Likert-type scales of imagery and affect. Findings, directly compared to those of previous research investigating imagery and emotional response, suggested that imagery and affect ratings are more reliable and replicable than some reading researchers have suspected. Findings demonstrated readers experience both imagery and emotional reactions that are interrelated and can be reliably studied. One figure is included. (MM) | ||
