Welcome to the launch party for Fielding University Press's new release, Real Characters: The psychology of parasocial relationships with media characters, edited by your host, Dr. Karen Shackleford. This volume uniquely showcases several of the most well-respected scholars and practitioners who understand what fictional characters mean to us psychologically. Most of us feel a strong connection to particular stories and characters, be it from classic literature or the latest popular culture phenomenon. Characters can act as models and avatars, leading us to consider our relationships, identities and values. Stories can be a kind of social simulation, triggering us to process our own emotions and histories. The authors take you inside the human mind, revealing how these connections can be beneficial to us as social creatures and helping you see your own familiar experiences with fictional characters in a new and fascinating light.
