Positive Parasocial Relationships with Drivers Affect Suspense in Racing Sport Spectators
The present study examines determinants of suspense on viewers observing sports on television. As an explanatory framework, an integrated model is proposed, linking the concept of (positive and negative) parasocial relationships (PSR) to the concept of affective dispositions as used in the affective...

| description | The present
study examines determinants of suspense on viewers observing sports on
television. As an explanatory framework, an integrated model is proposed,
linking the concept of (positive and negative) parasocial relationships (PSR) to
the concept of affective dispositions as used in the affective disposition
theory of drama. In the context of the popular sport of "Formula
1" racing, the hypothesized causal structure of the formation of
suspense was tested in an empirical survey study. A structural equation model
was calculated. Results show a significant influence of positive forms of PSR
toward a favorite driver, either mediated by viewers' hopes for a positive
outcome or influenced directly by the experienced level of suspense. While
negative forms of PSR toward a disliked driver affect viewers' hopes for a
negative outcome, they do not add to the level of suspense. |
