Abstract

Narrative absorption is an umbrella term for a specific mental state that, in general, can be described as altered embodied, cognitive, and emotional processes of being invested into the content of a fictional story (e. g., Nell, 1988). This chapter discusses the most recent developments within the field of narrative absorption research and embeds those developments in the context of more established research on the topic.
