Emily Moyer-Gusé studies how entertainment media—like TV shows, movies, and fictional narratives—can shape people's beliefs, emotions, and behaviors, especially around health topics such as vaccines, genetic testing, and disease prevention. Her work examines psychological processes like narrative persuasion (being 'transported' into a story), moral judgments of characters, humor, and empathy, and how these influence audience attitudes and reduce prejudice or misinformation.
