The Transportation Scale–Short Form (TS–SF) [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
One popular concept to capture the experience of being immersed into the world of a story is the concept of transportation. This paper examines the factorial validity of the Transportation Scale (TS) and introduces a short and psychometrically sound alternative for the assessment of transportation. Exploratory bifactor modeling in Study 1 (N = 179) provided support for the hypothesized factor structure of the original TS with three facets and a general transportation factor. Based on these analyses, a six-item short version of the scale, the Transportation Scale- Short Form (TS-SF), was developed. Study 2 (N = 131 and N = 246) as well as Study 3 (N = 301) corroborated the short form’s factorial structure, reliability, and validity.
