Scholarship Description: This project examines two complementary roles that emotion can play in text comprehension, both of which are under-researched. First, in order to derive a coherent overall representation of a text, it is crucial to understand the emotions experienced by the characters and the impact of those emotions on the characters’ behaviour. These emotions are sometimes described explicitly, but often have to be inferred from other cues in the text. Second, readers both bring emotions to reading a text and experience emotions as a result of reading the text. These emotions can be related, sometimes indirectly, to the emotions experienced by the text characters and comprise one factor that determine readers’ emotional engagement with the text. There are considerable individual differences in such emotional engagement, including sex differences.
