Interpersonal and Psychological Predictors of Parasocial Interaction with Different Television Performers.
Turner, John R.
Communication Quarterly, v41 n4 p443-53 Fall 1993
Examines the relationship of interpersonal homophily and self-esteem with the development of parasocial interaction. Finds that "attitude" homophily was the strongest predictor of parasocial interaction for all three groups of television performers. Shows how an integration of interpersonal and mass communication theories contributes to knowledge of parasocial interaction. (RS)
