Speaker: Yoshiyuki Matsuzaki

Research Proposal: The Effect of Fictional Film Narrative on Viewers' Empathy and Mind Reading Moderated by Interaction

Abstract: The research aims to understand the effect of cinematic narratives on viewers' social cognition and how interactive elements in film moderate this effect. Our hypotheses are: 1) short-term exposure to fiction films will increase viewers' empathy performance in the Interpersonal Reactivity Index trait Fantasy and 2) Mind Reading skill evaluated by Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test. An addition of 3) interactive elements in the film will increase the above improvements. This research focuses on the unexpected interaction between characters and viewers. The question from characters to viewers, namely, breaking the fourth wall, is an instance of such interaction. We further consider the interaction between characters and a broader concept of the real world, such as the edge of the screen.
