| Summary: | This book discussed the para-social interaction between young adults of
IIUM and public figures of their choice. It considers the power distance as
the determining factor that influence the para-social interaction between
them. On another aspect, this study also looks at the attitudes that the
young adults develop towards the public figures based on the influence of
power of the public figures. To do so, an adaptation of Celebrity Worship
Scale developed by McCutcheon et al (2002) with some alteration was used.
Such modification was deemed necessary as the questionnaire is from
Western country and making it localized helped to draw a more concrete
conclusion. The results show that there is strong para-social interaction
between young adults and public figures of their choice and the attitudes of
the young adults towards public figures. |
