Abstract
O principal objetivo da presente pesquisa foi gerar novo conhecimento em torno aos processos de persuasão narrativa e a sua aplicação para reduzir o prejuízo para imigrantes altamente estigmatizados. Analisou-se o efeito da similitude entre o protagonista de uma narração desenhada para reduzir o prejuízo e a audiência da mensagem, n identificação com o protagonista e nas atitudes para a imigração. Para isto, levou-se a cabo uma pesquisa experimental na que participaram 90 estudantes de universidade. Como estímulos experimentais se utilizaram narrações cortas escritas em primeira pessoa que relatavam a experiência migratória de um imigrante estigmatizado. Os participantes foram assignados aleatoriamente a duas condições experimentais, desenhadas em função de como aparecia caracterizado o protagonista da narração. Os resultados mostraram que a similitude influía positivamente na identificação com o protagonista o que se associava, à sua vez, a atitudes mais favoráveis para a imigração. A pesquisa realizada abre uma linha de estudo sobre os fatores vinculados com a construção das personagens e das mensagens narrativas, e a sua incidência em processos de recepção (identificação, conquista narrativa), e indiretamente, em variáveis vinculadas com a mudança social e a promoção da tolerância.
