Research on the Influence of Fan Culture on Teenagers' Psychology and Behavior
Abstract
Chinese fan culture is a diverse and complex phenomenon, constantly evolving along with social, economic, and Internet development. Fan culture is also a multi-layered and multi-dimensional cultural phenomenon, covering personal emotion, social interaction, commercial value, and cultural creativity. Fan culture not only brings optimistic emotional value but also boosts economic development. However, research on the effects of fan culture on adolescent psychology and behavior remains inadequate. This paper analyzes adolescents' participation in fan culture in the age of social media, focusing on the problematic representations of adolescents' psychology and behavior. The article analyzes that fan culture not only brings positive emotions to teenagers but also brings the problem of excessive consumption, which affects the thinking mode and physical and mental health of teenagers. Based on this, this paper puts forward suggestions to guide teenagers to actively participate in fan culture from the aspects of social media, star organizers, teenagers and parents, and social atmosphere.
