Social Media Influencers and Followers: Theorization of a Trans-Parasocial Relation and Explication of Its Implications for Influencer Advertising

Chen Lou

Summary: This study suggests that traditional notions of parasocial relations are no longer sufficient to capture the complexities of modern human interactions, proposing instead a concept of trans-parasocial relations. These trans-parasocial relations involve a mutually reciprocal, interactive, and co-created bond between influencers and their followers. The research findings indicate that followers generally have positive attitudes towards influencer-sponsored posts, view sponsorship disclosures as genuine and transparent, and find them inspiring and admirable.

In AI we trust? The effects of parasocial interaction and technopian versus luddite ideological views on chatbot-based customer relationship management in the emerging feeling economy

Seounmi Youn et al.

Summary: Different relationship types (virtual assistantship vs virtual friendship) between consumers and AI chatbots have varying effects on brand personality perception, parasocial interaction, and CRM. Consumers interacting with friend chatbots show stronger parasocial interaction, and the relationship type impacts brand personality perception through parasocial interaction. AI designers and marketers need to develop innovative AI user interfaces and experiences to attract users and alleviate AI anxiety in the "feeling economy."

Robots at Work: People Prefer-and Forgive-Service Robots With Perceived Feelings

Kai Chi Yam et al.

Summary: Organizations are increasingly relying on service robots to improve efficiency, but these robots often make mistakes. The study suggests that people evaluate service robots more positively when they are anthropomorphized and seem more humanlike-capable of both agency and experience. The results show that perceived experience can attenuate the negative impacts of service failures on customer satisfaction, while perceived agency can amplify these negative effects.

This suggests that viewers can relate to characters enhanced by CGI as effectively as they can to entirely human characters.
