8.4.2.3 Resonance with Prior Experience or Interest

Engagement was reported to be energised by photographic content that was in accordance to the participant’s identity and personal interests. This could be directly related to what the photograph was depicting, ‘I like the technical ones because I’m a bit of a nerd on the technical ones with the planes and stuff’. Sometimes a participant’s familial connection was a bridge to amplify engagement with the photograph content and the task as a whole, ‘Both my grand-fathers fought in world war two on the American side, one of my grandpas landed at Omaha beach on D-Day, so it all kind of ties in, so I found it all very interesting’.

In contrast to this, engagement may be attenuated by a participant not identifying with the task, ‘I guess it’s more for people that are more interested in the war museum’, or identification with only a certain aspect ‘[I liked] Looking at the crew, the uniforms, the equipment; the actual airborne bombing didn’t do much for me’. The most common expressions of personal interest in the photograph content included interest in social history, the aircraft depicted and vocational connections.
