Abstract in brief
Adult attachment influences how deeply people get involved with stories, including feeling immersed and forming bonds with characters because stories provide a safe way to experience intimacy without the risk of rejection.
Study 1 shows that attachment styles, specifically anxiety and avoidance, affect how people identify with characters and engage in parasocial interactions, even when accounting for other personality traits.
Study 2 examines which types of characters appeal to different attachment styles, revealing that attachment orientations influence both how we connect with characters and who we are drawn to in stories.

@beyoncetingz @savehoneyola @NICKIMINAJ It shouldn’t have to be said that there will be no bowing down to someone who treats CSA like a joke.
The modern parasocial relationship needs to die a quick and unceremonious death. It’s nothing if not cultish.

A esquiva de relações íntimas, fortemente ligada a dificuldade nelas, está associada aqui a maior identificação com personagens, e especialmente personagens mais autônomos e independentes.

@thefempire88 @in_fIux @GiinTonic @sophie_frm_mars that is why I say I'l beat someone who tells me mean things for being what I assume is a "fictosexual". nobody will take would you ever write a character who is also https://t.co/jTqj41EHPl https://t.co/fsWMyM1qSS ? seriously without some bonking
@jk_rowling please write good for https://t.co/jTqj41E9ZN https://t.co/fsWMyM0T3k nobody wants us and even say we exist only to make fun of gay people. or we're an immature joke or fetishes and preferences are not lgbt. then again maybe it's a good thing not to due to association reasons
@dduane https://t.co/fsWMyM0T3k https://t.co/jTqj41E9ZN would you ever have a serious protagonist who is this? and if it looks like they get a love interest say "sorry I already have someone in my heart, (and makeup an in universe folklore hero)
@PeteButtigieg what are your thoughts about https://t.co/jTqj41E9ZN and https://t.co/fsWMyM0T3k. I think little kids need to know this so they don't feel weird if they are when they are older
