PSRs in Adolescence
Adolescence is a critical developmental moment for humans. Biologically and socially, the adolescents’ worlds are shifting drastically, and, as a result, their relationships to media figures must shift as well. This chapter examines the unique developmental role that media personalities play in adolescence. The chapter begins by discussing the characteristics of parasocial relationships in this age group—how relationships with celebrities fit wit…
Protein Synthesis and Translational Control in Neural Stem Cell Development and Neurogenesis
Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) are the origin of almost all neural cells in the mammalian brain and generate neurons throughout life. The balance of NSC maintenance and differentiation is thus critical for brain development and function. This balance is precisely controlled by sophisticated gene expression programs at multiple levels. While transcriptional regulation is vital for many aspects of neurogenesis from NSCs, recent studies highlig…
An Experimental Examination of Binge Watching and Narrative Engagement
Increasingly, audiences are engaging with media narratives through the practice of binge watching. The effects of binge watching are largely unknown, although early research suggests binge watching may be motivated by a need for escape and could be associated with some qualities of addiction. In this study, we ask whether the practice of binge watching impacts audience engagement with a media narrative. Using an experimental approach, we manipula…
Toward a Multi-Dimensional Model of Adolescent Romantic Parasocial Attachment
Relationships with media figures—referred to as parasocial relationships—provide a means for adolescents to explore and define their romantic and sexual identities (Boon & Lomore, 2001; Engle & Kasser, 2005; Karniol, 2001). However, more often than not, adolescents’ romantic attachments to media figures are ignored or dismissed as frivolous in the scholarly literature on youth development (Caughey, 1984; Jenkins, 1992; Willis, 1972). In this pape…
