重複接觸原著小說與改編電影對閱聽人沉浸感與心理機制之效果研究

Abstract

小說和改編電影可視為兩個內容極為相似的文本，本研究主要探討閱聽人重複接觸小說和改編電影的動機及其沉浸體驗，為此本研究設計了一個實驗和一次深度訪談以期檢視此研究問題。 研究一採用實驗法，主要論證各個可能對沉浸感產生影響的因素是否存在。結果發現，閱聽人重複接觸的順序並不會對其沉浸感產生影響。但是當小說和改編電影情節越相似時，或是閱聽人對角色和演員喜好程度較高時，則閱聽人越沉浸入文本當中。此外人格特質，如認知需求、心像能力也會影響沉浸感。 研究二採用深度訪談法，除了探討閱聽人重複接觸的動機，還希望透過深度訪談論證研究一的結論，結果發現與研究一結論不盡相同。受訪者認為，先看電影再看小說此種接觸順序將較為容易沉浸，但是先看小說再看電影的話對角色的喜好比較容易發現改變。最後受訪者希望改編電影在忠於小說的基礎上，還應有自己的創新。

The research mainly discuss the transportation experience and motivation of audiences who were exposed to novel and its adapted film due to the content similarity between novel and adapted film. Therefore, the research designed an experiment and interview to study this topic. Study 1 uses experiment as the research method, it focuses on the existence of the elements which affect transportation. The result shows that the order of exposure will not affect the transportation. Then, there are four elements will affect the transportation, a) similarity of content, b) audiences’ likeliness upon characters, c) need for cognition, d) imagery ability. Study 2 uses in-depth interview as the research method, which mainly talks about the motivation of audiences and also wants to testify the conclusion from study 1. The result reveals some differences from study 1. The participants point out that watching film followed by reading novel provided the greatest transportation. The result also shows that the likeliness upon characters are easily changed due the reading after watching. The participants also wish that the film can make some innovation base on the novel’s construct.
