Abstract

Fans’ relationships with celebrities are termed “para-social.” Such one-way relationships with celebrities, often based on social media, might have a special impact on people’s behavior, including travel activities. Scholars have not yet explored the decision-making and behavior of pop culture tourists from the perspective of para-social relationships. In this study, informed by self-construal theory, in-depth interview and questionnaire-based survey were used to explore the impact of different self-construal on fans’ perceptions of the nature of their “fan-celebrity” para-social relationship and their pop culture tourism decision-making. Results indicate that fans whose self-construal is “independent” prefer idols’ habitual residential environment and placed-mediated experiences, while “interdependent” fans prefer interactive experiences, are celebrity oriented, and go where their favorite celebrity was gone.

准社会视角:偶像崇拜对粉丝旅游决策的影响
粉丝与明星的关系被称为“超社交”。这种与名人的单向关系,通常基于社交媒体,可能会对人们的行为产生特殊影响,包括旅行活动。学者们尚未从准社会关系的角度探讨流行文化游客的决策和行为。本研究以自我建构理论为基础,采用深度访谈法和问卷调查法,探讨不同自我建构对粉丝对“粉丝-名人”超社会关系本质认知及流行文化旅游决策的影响。结果表明,自我解释为“独立”的粉丝更喜欢偶像的习惯性居住环境和地点中介体验,而自我解释为“依赖”的粉丝更喜欢互动体验,以明星为导向,他们会去他们喜欢的明星去过的地方。
