Description
How far is too far when it comes to celebrity idolization? Idolization, aka parasocial relationships, are those ongoing, one-sided bonds with media figures. (Sound familiar?!)
So, are parasocial relationships normal? We dive into psychology to find out!
We look at why we admire celebrities and the different idolization levels on the Celebrity Attitude Scale.
Then, Sara takes us True Crime! We discuss extreme examples that lead to stalking (Brendon Urie, Katy Perry, Justin Beiber – to name just a few!) and even the deaths of John Lennon and Selena Quintanilla. It’s a wild rollercoaster from start to finish when idolization goes too far.
