Relationships with media figures—referred to as parasocial relationships—provide a means for adolescents to explore and define their romantic and sexual identities (Boon & Lomore, 2001; Engle & Kasser, 2005; Karniol, 2001). However, more often than not, adolescents’ romantic attachments to media figures are ignored or dismissed as frivolous in the scholarly literature on youth development (Caughey, 1984; Jenkins, 1992; Willis, 1972). In this paper, we introduce a theoretical model of Adolescent Romantic Parasocial Attachment (ARPA), designed to facilitate a comprehensive, developmentally-based line of research that improves our understanding of the ways adolescents experience parasocial romance and the influence their experiences may have on their lives. Implications for the study of adolescent romantic development and future research directions are proposed.

走向青少年浪漫型准社会依恋的多维模型

与媒体人物的关系——被称为准社会关系——为青少年探索和定义他们的浪漫和性身份提供了一种手段（Boon & Lomore, 2001; Engle & Kasser, 2005; Karniol, 2001）。然而，在有关青年发展的学术文献中，青少年对媒体人物的浪漫依恋常常被忽视或驳斥为轻浮（Caughey，1984；Jenkins，1992；Willis，1972）。在本文中，我们介绍了青少年浪漫型准社会依恋 (ARPA) 的理论模型，旨在促进全面的、基于发展的研究路线，以提高我们对青少年体验准社会浪漫的方式以及他们的经历可能对其产生的影响的理解。生活。
