Furthermore, the development of lay causal narratives and the negation of a 'diabetic identity' (resulting from lack of timely information and support) enabled some respondents to absolve themselves of any responsibility for their diabetes and inhibit subsequent behaviour change.
In the heuristic- based tracking of an agent, searching and identifying an agent relies on judgments and strategies aimed at providing provisional causal narratives about the history, present, and future of the target.
Historical narrative itself has several aspects: a hermeneutic story that makes sense of a complicated set of actions by different actors, but also a causal story conveying a set of causal mechanisms that came together to bring about an outcome.
Darwin's theory is a causal-explanatory narrative of how a least distinct but slightly adaptive stage of the (individual) difference changes into a more distinct and greatly adaptive stage of the (evolutionary) difference.
Philanthropic stories 'emplot' the life stories of entrepreneurial philanthropists by making the chronological appear causal, generating a coherent narrative that makes sense of their lives (Czarniawska, 1998; Downing, 2005; Fiol, 1989; Martens et al., 2007).
A follow-up experiment revealed that these narratives had causal power as well: participants exposed to just one of the narratives were more likely to support policy interventions consistent with the blame attribution of the narrative for both obesity as well as anorexia.
The presence of the bomb should create a token (i.e., "[bomb]") in the viewer's event model that is associated with the car (e.g., Radvansky, 2005), which should be reactivated every time the car is in the frame, including its causal implications for subsequent narrative events (i.e., it creates imminent danger for anyone near it) (e.g., Myers & O'Brien, 1998).
By Dan Chiasson December 19, 2017 By Dan Chiasson December 19, 2017 Among its many pleasures, poetry provides a furlough from narrative, from the causal basis of stories.
Persons and events were woven into causal patterns that furnished a narrative with the goals and resting points of recurrent climaxes.
Conversely, if a viewer did not see the bomb put in the car, the car would have no particularly salient causal connections in the unfolding narrative, other than as a means of transportation for characters that may or may not be of relevance to the narrative, and would simply be a part of the backgrounded events weakly represented in the event model.
Instead, he wrote narrative history, subsuming unstated causal forces in his driving storyline.
