Wow! I just found a word that hasn't already been co-opted. So Lingopsychology can be the name for: the study of psychological aspects of involvement with a narrative.
For fun, here are some characteristic types of involvement in a narrative:
- You hear talking but aren't listening
- You hear talking and are listening with "1/2 and ear" for topics that interest you if they come up
- You hear talking and are listening but are distracted
- You are listening but it is not interesting and engaging
- You are listening and being surprised
- You are listening and engaged in the outcome emotionally ("engaged in a narrative preference")
- You are listening and forming plans, perhaps believing or disbelieving what is heard
I can't get my mind around the difference between these last two, the difference between planning and reacting emotionally.

After getting my "red light" paper rejected from several psychology journals it becomes clear that narrative has no place in that field, as it defines itself.
