Para-Social
Relationships
The concept originated in 1956 with the article “Mass Communication and Para-Social Interaction” by Donald Horton, and R. Richard Wohl wherein the authors suggested that through repeated visual and audio contact people form a one-sided relationship with the media figure while being utterly unknown in return.
Para-Social Interactions (PSI) leads to a Para-Social Relationship (PSR), which is key in establishing the feeling of knowing the celebrity long after the exposure ends. In a small percentage of cases, the media figure becomes a source of felt security and safe haven such that a Para-Social Attachment (PSA) forms.
