parasocial relationships - 2025 NAFTA

Packet 2: Bonus 17

This term was popularized by Elizabeth Perse and Rebecca Rubin in a paper analyzing the reciprocity felt by people watching performers on television. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this psychological term, which is also used to describe intimate but unequal relationships that fans develop with online personalities.

ANSWER: parasocial relationships [or parasociality; accept word forms; prompt on social]

[10m] Perse and Rubin’s study assessed this process in parasocial relationships with soap opera characters. In a 1967 study, this process was unchanged when subjects were told that newswriters’ positions were based on a coin flip.

ANSWER: attribution [accept the Fundamental Attribution Error]

[10h] Perse and Rubin’s tests drew on a theory of personality based on these frameworks created by George Kelly. Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Triad links depression to a negative one of these thought patterns named for the self.

ANSWER: schema [or schemata; or schematics; or self-schema; accept personal constructs]
