Exploring how we enjoy antihero narratives
Shafer and Raney report three studies suggesting moral judgement matters less to enjoying antihero narratives than affective disposition theory predicts, that prior exposure to an antihero narrative changes later responses, and that cues encouraging moral disengagement shape enjoyment. Designs and samples are not stated in the abstract. Journal of Communication 62(6), 1028-1046, 2012.
