Some psychologists have used ____ attachment theory and Ainsworth’s ____ of attachment to explain celebrity worship. Bowlby’s theory predicts that individuals who didn’t form a ____ with a primary ____ in early childhood will try to find an attachment ____ as adults, and engaging in parasocial relationships allows them to do so. Moreover, according to the description of attachment types described by Ainsworth suggest that individuals who formed ____ relationships with their caregiver in early childhood will be more likely to form parasocial relationships, as they are too afraid of the criticism and ____ that are a part of real life relationships. As was demonstrated by Ainsworth’s findings in Strange Situation study, insecure-resistant children were very ____ to their mothers, showed less ____ behaviour than children of other types, as they didn’t feel safe enough to leave a parent, and showed great distress when their mother left the ____. According to Hazan and Shaver, this behaviour translates into clingy and ____ behaviour in adulthood, making it difficult for such people to developed committed and lasting romantic relationships. Intensive celebrity worship allows them to engage in ____ about the perfect relationship, without heartbreak and rejection.
