本研究探讨了娱乐教育（E-E）促进参与科学问题的潜力。有人认为，媒体体验的某些娱乐性特征增加了观众对某个问题的感知知识。利用不同的理论模型的E-E和叙事媒体信息的说服力的影响，三个假设和一个研究问题进行了评估，在103名参与者，谁是事先显示了一部关于基因工程的电影的调查。结果显示，观众的交通、认同感和享受感越高，他们实际上就越感到知情。然而，观察者的交通程度足以解释他们感知到的知识。
This study examined the potential of entertainment-education (E-E) for promoting engagement with a science issue. It was assumed that certain entertaining features of a media experience increase viewers’ perceived knowledge about an issue. Drawing on different theoretical models of E-E and on persuasive effects of narrative media messages, three hypotheses and one research question were assessed in a survey among 103 participants, who were shown a movie about genetic engineering beforehand. Results suggested that the higher viewers’ transportation, identification, and enjoyment were, the more they actually felt informed. Viewers’ degree of transportation, though, revealed to be sufficient to explain their perceived knowledge.
