Finding Your Light

Why We're Hooked: Understanding Our Attachment to Media


Listen Later

Welcome to Finding Your Light.

This podcast will include different topics where I delve deeper into the psychology and science behind them and make them understandable. I hope you will learn a lot from what will be discussed and help broaden your perspective on things.

Today's episode is on Parasocial relationships (One-sided relationships), where you form an attachment with another person or things by investing lots of time and energy into them but they don't know you exist. These sorts of relationships can form with celebrities, books and tv characters. I will be talking about why we form these attachments to media personas and what this means about us.

I hope you enjoyed this episode and found it useful! Let me know if you've ever formed a really close attachment to another media person in the comments! Mine was definitely Justin Bieber when I was younger!
