Laken Dr. Anthony Ferri, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Journalism and Mass Media University of Nevada, Las Vegas This research looked at parasocial interactions among college students. The study looked at the differences in gender and parasocial interaction, ethnicity/race and parasocial interaction, and the type of entertainment the celebrity was in and parasocial interaction. The research looked at celebrities as themselves and not as the characters they play as previous studies have. The research consisted of a revised parasocial interaction scale along with basic demographic questions. Although there have been studies examining levels of worship among different celebrities, they have been no correlations or differences stated concerning parasocial interactions. In addition, there has been no previous research stating the differences among ethnic/racial groups and parasocial interactions. Research on gender differences has yielded inconclusive results. This study found the difference in gender and parasocial interaction to be significant. However, ethnicity/race and the type of entertainment the celebrity was in were not significant in relation to parasocial interaction. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I want to thank my family, especially my parents for their love, motivation and support. I could not have achieved this goal without it. I would like to thank my advisor and committee members for all of their advice and expertise. Dr. Ferri, for always being available to help when I was not sure how to proceed. Dr. Larson, for all of the advice on thesis topics as well as being a mentor for teaching. Dr. Borchard, for pushing me to be a better writer. Dr. Dickens, for all of the recommendations on research material. Without the support of each of you, this goal would not have been accomplished. I would also like to extend thanks to the faculty and staff of the Journalism and Media Studies department for their help and support. I would also like to thank the Graduate College and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for allowing me to conduct my research. Achieving this goal would not be possible without the opportunity and support from faculty and staff members. Last, thanks to my close friends for their motivation and continued interest in my research. Thanks also to Michael Sears for his assistance in distributing the survey. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1 Purpose of Study 3 Research Questions 4 Significance 5 Parasocial Interaction 6 Celebrity 9 Summary 12 CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE 13 Summary 29 CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY 31 Scale Selection 32 Research Questions 33 CHAPTER 4 RESULTS 34 Scale Distribution 34 Demographics 35 Findings 35 CHAPTER 5 DISCUSSION 39 Further Research 43 Limitations 44 Conclusion: How Celebrity May Affect American Culture 44 APPENDIX I Summary of Scales in Literature Review 49 APPENDIX II Original and Edited Parasocial Interaction Scales 51 APPENDIX III Survey Used in Research 53 APPENDIX rv Individual Means and Standard Deviations for Parasocial Interaction Scale Items 56 APPENDIX V Complete List of Chosen Celebrities 57 v APPENDIX VI Internal Review Board Approval Form 65 REFERENCES 69 VITA 73 VI CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION There have always been famous people in the world and, "It has often been said that movie stars are the royalty of America," (Gabler, 1998, p. 174). However, it seems that in the 21st century, people are more curious and captivated by celebrities. Schopenhauer (1851) wrote, "Riches, one may say, are like sea water: the more you drink, the thirstier you become; and the same is true of fame," (p. 3 7). Celebrity will be discussed later, but it is important to look at the increase in interest. Celebrity coverage doubled from 1980 to 2003 (McCafferty, 2005). The Project for Excellence in Journalism assessed 3,760 reports on nightly news programs and found that celebrity journalism, combined with human-interest stories and scandals, saw an increase of 27.6 % from the year 1977 to 1997 (cited in Peterson, 1998). In addition, "Time and Newsweek were seven times as likely to having the same cover story as People magazine" in 1997 compared to 1977 (Peterson, D8). One reason for this change was due to news media attempts at making news more relevant (Peterson). According to the Fas-Fax report released by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, celebrity magazines saw an increase in circulation in the first six months of 2004 (cited in Fine, 2004, p. 30). US Weekly's newsstand sales increased by 47.3 %, In Touch's sales rose 73.6 % and People magazine sales rose 3.3 % during the same time period (Fine). These three magazines deal primarily with celebrity news stories. In addition to celebrity 1 magazines reporting an increase in sales, other magazines saw an increase in the coverage of celebrities. Celebrities appeared on almost half of all American magazine covers during 2004 (McCafferty, 2005). Newsstand sales alone on magazines such as People, Star, Us Weekly, In Touch Weekly and Life & Style equal $25 million a week, totaling more then $1.3 billion a year. The television show Entertainment Tonight averages about 7 million viewers a day. That number increases to more then 100 million viewers a week when The Insider, Inside Edition, Access Hollywood and Extra! are all combined (Tapper and Morris, 2005). During the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006, Time magazine saw a 17 % decline, dropping from 4.1 million to 3.4 million in circulation. However, the celebrity magazine, OK!, saw a 54 % increase, selling more then 809,000 copies an issue. US Weekly also saw an increase (Perez-Pena, 2007). According to "State of the News Media 2006," a report released by Journalism.org (2006), People magazine had an average circulation of 3.5 million in 1999. That same report stated that in 2004, People's average circulation was 3.7 million. The Pew Research Center (2007) explored which news stories Americans were most interested in. The survey found Paris Hilton's brief but memorable stint in jail became a national news story earlier this summer. During the first week in June, when she was briefly released from jail and then sent back, 4% of the national news was devoted to the story and 12% of the American public said the Hilton saga was the story they were following more closely than any other. (Summary of Findings, para. 5) 2 Another story the survey examined was the death of Anna Nicole. "During the two days immediately following [Anna Nicole] Smith's death, nearly a quarter of the news from all sectors (24%) was devoted to this story" (The Pew Research Center, 2007, Summary of Findings, para. 5). With these increases in magazine circulation and celebrity television shows, it is important to understand the audiences' relationship with celebrities.

  • 'Friends' with a Vlogger?
    1 Can You Become ‘Friends’ With a Vlogger? How Multiple Exposures, Addressing Style and Individual Belongingness Needs Affect the Parasocial Relationship Darcy I. Oerlemans SNR 2044244 Master’s Thesis Communication and Information Sciences Specialization Communication and Cognition School of Humanities and Digital Sciences Tilburg University, Tilburg Supervisor: Charlotte Out (MSc) Second Reader: dr. Martijn Goudbeek January 2021 2 Abstract A parasocial relationship is a long-term and one-sided relationship that a viewer can develop towards a media character, such as a vlogger. Although the concept has found favor with researchers, not many studies have yet focused on parasocial relationships with unknown vloggers. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the role of two key aspects in parasocial relationship strength: repeated exposures to the vlogger and the extent to which the vlogger bodily addresses the viewer, conceptualized as both seeing and hearing the vlogger speak. Moreover, individuals with a high need to belong were expected to develop stronger parasocial relationships. In a 2 (exposure to the vlogger: after first vlog and after second vlog) x 2 (bodily address: yes or no) experiment, participants (N = 122) watched two vlogs with one week in between. A mixed ANOVA indicated no effects of bodily address on parasocial relationship strength. However, regardless of addressing style, the parasocial relationship weakened after two exposures to the vlogger, indicating that parasocial relationships are not limited to positive experiences. Lastly, a MEMORE moderation analysis indicated no moderating role of the need to belong on the development of the parasocial relationship. This study is the first to combine the parasocial relationship with belongingness needs in a vlog context and used a successful manipulation of bodily address in an experiment with two exposures.

  • The Seasoned Actor ISLA FISHER Is Redefining the Comedy Genre on Her Own Terms
    30 HUMOUR IS OUR BEDROCK The seasoned actor ISLA FISHER is redefining the comedy genre on her own terms Photographer A NGE L O D’AG O ST I NO Stylist ALLISON BORNSTEIN sla Fisher broke into the Hollywood comedy genre with a defining part in hit comedyWedding Crashers. However, the I actor first came to prominence for her portrayal of Shannon Reed on the soap opera Home and Away from 1994 to 1997, garn- ering two Logie Awards nominations. Fisher soon started to amass wider attention for a plethora of productions as the lead female comedy character by encapsulating the essence and multifaceted aspects of being a woman in modern society. She was also hand- picked by fashion demigod Tom Ford to appear in his thriller Nocturnal Animals. Dress CHANEL Isla’s right hand Toi and Moi ring set in platinum with diamonds Isla’s left hand forefinger Gold diamond and ruby cluster ring Brilliant diamond dangle earrings, all TURNER AND TATLER 33 Her latest release sees Fisher as Matthew McCo- naughey’s partner in critically acclaimed director Harmony Korine’s The Beach Bum. Starring alongside Zac Efron and Snoop Dogg – an interesting mix of personas to say the least – Fisher is the antidote to McConaughey’s rebellious rogue character who lives life by his own rules. “I felt like the script was part provocation, part tragedy, part comedy, part hedonism. My role in it was pivotal as the Ying to Matthew McConaughey’s Yang in the story,” she explains. “In one way she’s not dissimilar from characters I’ve played who are sort of, ‘fuck the system’, anti-establishment, but she’s also different because of her voice and mannerisms,” Fisher concludes.

  • Alternate Archives in US Daytime TV Soap Opera Historiography
    Elana Levine Alternate Archives in US Daytime TV Soap Opera Historiography Television history is more dependent on alternative archives than is film his- tory. A range of factors place TV outside the parameters of conventional archi- val practice. The live broadcast of television in its early years and the ongoing liveness of some forms of TV have posed a technological challenge to the institutionalized archiving of programs, as have changing formats of videotape and the disintegration of tape itself. The domestic reception of TV, along with its commercial funding structure in many parts of the world, has also ranked television low in cultural hierarchies, and thereby low in priorities of preser- vation. The dismissal of most television for much of its history as inartistic, or as pandering to a “lowest common denominator,” has led many to devalue TV programs as historical artifacts and as objects of critical analysis. One of the clearest cases of this conventional archival neglect is the US daytime television soap opera. Soap operas transitioned to US television from radio in the early 1950s, broadcast daily episodes live into the early 1960s, and were subsequently shot on (sequential formats of) videotape. To many, the soap opera epitomizes the characterization of television as com- mercial, domestic, and unartful. As a result, few involved in the production, distribution, or preservation of television have found soap opera to be an object worthy of or viable for preservation. This situation is compounded by the voluminousness of soap opera texts— many daytime serials air daily for decades— as well as soaps’ associations with women and other marginal- ized audiences such as children, the elderly, and the unemployed, who are assumed to be home during the day with “nothing better to do.” The histo- riography of the soap opera may seem impossible given these constraints.

Introduction 1.1 Introduction Twitchis an online platform founded in 2011 (https://twitch.tv) where users live-stream themselves while playing a video game, displaying gameplay andincluding webcam and microphoneto communicate with their viewers (image 1.1). According to Twitch, the community consists of more than 2 million live-streamers and close to 10 million visitors per day (About Twitch).Besides individual users, organizations broadcast their eSports tournaments where gamers and teams compete for prizes (Edge 34-5). Twitch additionally offers features for social contact between users by following, subscribing, adding friends and sending personal messages. Additionally, all channelshave a chat room right next to the live-stream where userscan communicate in real time (image 1.1). Twitch users can select streams from the list of channels they “follow” at the left side of the screen, or they can browse through all live channels, of both individual streamers and organized tournaments, filtered per game, community or popularity (image 1.2). Besides the heterogeneous gaming content, Twitch introduced a “Creative” section in October 2015, where users stream themselves while cooking, painting, designing, making music, et cetera.
