Testimonial immigration narratives' effects on identification, emotions and cognitions among different types of recipients.

While there is an increasing interest in the study of testimonial narratives' effects, there is still a lack of studies that simultaneously explore their mechanisms, differential impacts among various populations, and cross-cultural replications. In this study, we conducted an online pre-registered...

      ab: While there is an increasing interest in the study of testimonial narratives' effects, there is still a lack of studies that simultaneously explore their mechanisms, differential impacts among various populations, and cross-cultural replications. In this study, we conducted an online pre-registered experiment in Spain (N = 1502) and subsequently replicated in Hungary (N = 960), to assess how native-born participants respond to immigration-related testimonials. These testimonials varied along three dimensions: the portrayed immigrant's frame (profiteer vs victim vs hero), their origin (high- vs low-stigma) and the narrative point of view (1st vs 3rd person). Additionally, we measured participants' levels of modern racism, intergroup contact with minorities, and their personality traits using the Big-5 model. Our analyses revealed that individuals with lower levels of racism, more frequent intergroup contact, and higher levels in agreeableness, openness to experience and, more modestly, extraversion, were more immerse in the testimonials. This was reflected in stronger identification with the protagonist, more intense emotionality, deeper cognitive reflection, and reduced counterarguing. These patterns were consistent across both cultural contexts, offering a deeper understanding of narrative persuasion models and migration narrative success.
