This study (N = 402) examines how transitioning between different discrete emotions can influence self-reported emotional flow and hope. Based on appraisal theories of emotion, we examine the emotional flow effects of shifting from emotions that share more appraisal dimensions (fear and hope) and emotions that differ on multiple appraisal dimensions (anger and hope) to see if the transition from a similar emotion (fear) leads to higher levels of hope than the different emotion (anger). These emotion shift conditions are also compared to single emotion conditions (fear, anger, or hope), and to a no-narrative control condition to examine emotional flow and its effect on related constructs. Results indicate that conditions did not differ in hope, reported-emotional flow or transportation. However, identification, future engagement with similar narratives, helping behavior, and attitudes were higher among conditions utilizing single, and not shifting, emotions. Implications and future research directions are discussed.","**To request an accessible version of the file(s) associated with this item, contact library@buffalo.edu.
