Parasocial interaction

A one-sided emotional relationship with a person or fictional character with whom there is no interaction in the real world. Movie and sports stars, characters in novels, AIs or even deceased individuals can be the subject of parasocial relationships. The phenomenon itself is very old. However, with the advent of mass media in the second half of the 20th century, it gained enormous significance.
