I'm doing my PIP topic on parasocial relationships within the celebrity community. For those who don't know a parasocial relationship refers to a kind of psychological relationship experienced by an audience in their mediated encounters with performers in the mass media, particularly on television and on online platforms. For my research i'm doing a content analysis, a focus group and a questionaire. I was wondering if anyone had an experience with the umbrella term of parasocial relationships I could use as a part of my research. my findings are only read by myself, my teacher and my HSC marker. All responses remain annonymous and will be deleted after my major project is complete. 💘
