  • Parasocial Interaction: That's So Raven and the African
    PARASOCIAL INTERACTION: THAT’S SO RAVEN AND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN TWEEN AUDIENCE by Davia Rose Lassiter (Under the direction of Dwight E. Brooks) ABSTRACT African American female tweens (ages 9-14) were found to engage in parasocial interaction with the main character on Disney’s top rated show That’s So Raven. An audience reception analysis of this particular demographic showed these participants displayed essential components of parasocial interaction, which are homophily, personal identity, and companionship. Race and gender were the two factors that emerged though discussions about their perceptions of show, their favorite character, their perceptions of African Americans and Whites, and their media preferences and habits. Parasocial interaction is a one-sided interpersonal relationship viewers of a television show establish with the characters, developing a bond of intimacy through repeated viewings of the character over time, resembling a face to face interaction between the viewers and the character (Auter, 1992; Eyal and Rubin, 2003; Hoffner, 1996; McHugh and Rubin, 1987). INDEX WORDS: African American girls, Disney, parasocial interaction, That’s So Raven, tweens, uses and gratifications PARASOCIAL INTERACTION: THAT’S SO RAVEN AND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN TWEEN AUDIENCE by DAVIA ROSE LASSITER B.A., The University of Southern Mississippi, 2004 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2006 © 2006 Davia Rose Lassiter All Rights Reserved PARASOCIAL INTERACTION: THAT’S SO RAVEN AND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN TWEEN AUDIENCE by DAVIA ROSE LASSITER Major Professor: Dwight E.Brooks Committee: Alison Alexander Tina M.
