Overview
This paper explores parasocial phenomena on social media pages related to Spanish television fiction by analysing the development of parasociality through relationships established between users and characters and the characteristics of this type of online community. The sample consisted of 4,762 spontaneous comments posted on social media pages (1,598 on Facebook and 3,164 on Twitter) linked to television series. Comments published between 1 January 2018 and 31 May 2020 were compiled the day after the premiere of each fiction. Our findings confirm those of previous researchs on the similarity between parasocial relationships with fictional characters and relationships in real life. This study also substantiates that women’s comments show a greater tendency to draw associations between parasocial relationships and daily life. We also find a link between programme longevity and audience success on the one hand, and the intensity of parasocial relationships with the characters on the other. The relationships among community members reveal a degree of narcissism, prompting more self-disclosure than interaction with the rest of the users. Therefore, such relationships are closer to consociality (Kozinets, 2015) than parasociality, although significant differences concerning gender identity are also found in this context. Este artículo explora los fenómenos parasociales que se producen en las redes sociales dedicadas a la ficción televisiva española, con el objetivo de analizar tanto las relaciones entre los usuarios y los personajes como las características de este tipo de comunidades y la evolución de ambas manifestaciones de la parasocialidad. La muestra de análisis está integrada por 4.762 comentarios espontáneos en las webs dedicadas a los programas (1.598 en Facebook y 3.164 de Twitter), publicados entre el 1 de enero de 2018 y el 31 de mayo de 2020 y recogidos al día siguiente del estreno de cada ficción. El trabajo confirma los resultados de las investigaciones precedentes sobre la semejanza de las relaciones parasociales con los personajes y las relaciones reales, así como la mayor tendencia de los comentarios femeninos a extrapolar las relaciones parasociales a su vida cotidiana. El análisis también evidencia la relación entre, por un lado, la longevidad de los programas y el éxito de audiencia y, por otro lado, la intensidad de las relaciones parasociales con los personajes. Las relaciones entre los miembros de la comunidad revelan un cierto narcisismo, que los induce más a mostrarse (self-disclosure) que a interactuar con el resto de los usuarios. Se sitúan, por consiguiente, más próximos a la consocialidad (Kozinets, 2015) que a la parasocialidad, aunque también en este punto se aprecian diferencias significativas en relación con la identidad de género.
