Focusing on soap operas, the book delves into the concept of 'parasocial interaction' where viewers form one-sided relationships with television characters. It examines the dynamics of the 'active viewer' and how television texts influence social psychology. Additionally, the work critiques and explores various theoretical models from social psychology and related fields, providing insights into how audiences engage with and are affected by televised narratives.
