Medya Karakterleriyle Kurulan Parasosyal Etkileşim

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, medya karakterleriyle kurulan parasosyal etkileşimin doğasını anlamak, öncülleri hakkında bilgi sahibi olmak ve parasosyal etkileşimle ilgili daha önce gerçekleştirilmiş önemli araştırmaları gözden geçirmektir. Bu doğrultuda parasosyal etkileşimin öncülleri ve ilişkili olduğu değişkenler hakkında bilgi sahibi olunması ve bu değişkenlerin sosyal yaşama olası etkilerinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmektedir. Daha önce gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar dikkate alındığında daha çok dizilerde yer alan karakterle kurulan ilişkilere odaklanıldığı görülmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada da ağırlıklı olarak dizi karakterleriyle kurulan etkileşime odaklanılmıştır. Çalışmada ilk olarak, parasosyal etkileşim kavramının doğasına ve öncüllerine değinilmiş, daha sonra bu etkileşimin kişilerarası ilişkilerle benzerliklerinden söz edilmiştir. Son olarak da bu konuyla ilgili yapılmış, parasosyal etkileşimin özellikle yaş, cinsiyet, yalnızlık, sosyal kaygı gibi değişkenler açısından incelendiği araştırmalara ve bazı önerilere yer verilmiştir.
