Abstract

Media celebrities can exert significant influence on societal change, and adolescents are the most vulnerable population to such influence given that this is a period when personal identity-seeking starts to become increasingly important. However, there is a lack of research examining the factors that contribute to adolescents' vulnerability to celebrity worship. The present study investigated the relationship between neuroticism, avoidant identity style, and celebrity worship among adolescents with a particular focus on mediating the role of the need to belong among a convenience sample of Iranian adolescents (N = 396; girls = 68%; age = 15.76 ± 1.99). Structural equation modeling showed that the association between avoidant identity style and celebrity worship was partially mediated by the need to belong, while the latter fully mediated the relationship between neuroticism and celebrity worship. The findings draw attention to the need to belong as an important factor underlying celebrity worship. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

青少年对名人的崇拜受神经质、回避型身份风格和归属感需求的驱动。
媒体名人可以对社会变革产生重大影响,而青少年正是最容易受到这种影响的人群,因为这个时期的青少年开始越来越重视寻求个人身份认同。然而,目前还缺乏对导致青少年易受名人崇拜影响的因素的研究。本研究调查了神经质、回避型身份风格和青少年名人崇拜之间的关系,特别关注了归属需求在伊朗青少年(样本数=396;女生=68%;年龄=15.76 ± 1.99)中的中介作用。结构方程模型显示,回避型身份风格与名人崇拜之间的关系部分由归属需求中介,而归属需求则完全中介了神经质与名人崇拜之间的关系。研究结果使人们注意到归属需求是名人崇拜的一个重要潜在因素。本文还讨论了研究的局限性和未来发展方向。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
