  1. Notes. Possible range in values is 1–7; higher values indicate more engagement. Dimensions of engagement: ATT = attention; GNW = going into the narrative world; IDE = identity; EMO/EMP; emotions and empathy. The values in bold indicate an interaction effect on self-reported emotional engagement (EMO/EMP), as displayed in Fig. 2
