This chapter refines the model of recipient emotions. First, studies of the credibility of narratives and narrators are reviewed from the fields of advertisement, law, and literary fiction. The form of narrative perspective representation is related to how credible narrators appear and to the ensuing emotions. Second, factors that influence judgments of the appropriateness of characters’ and narrators’ emotions are discussed. If emotions are deemed situationally inappropriate due to violating constitutive emotion rules (which define the relation between prototypical eliciting situation for each emotion) or due to violating feeling or display rules, then recipients either look for reasons that lie in the individual’s biography or are prone to attribute emotional dispositions (e.g., irritability) or mental insanity to the individual. This, in turn, influences their own emotional reactions. A final factor influencing recipients’ emotions are the possible incompleteness (missing parts) and incongruences. Their effect is not appreciated by recipients of everyday narratives, but may have desirable effects in fictional narratives.
