How Obsessed Are You?

Respond to the following statements adapted from the Celebrity
Attitude Scale created by psychologists James Houran, Lynn McCutcheon,
Rense Lange, John Maltby and Diane Ashe.

I often feel compelled to learn the personal habits of my favorite
celebrity.

I love to talk with others who admire my favorite celebrity,

When something bad happens to my favorite celebrity, I feel like it
happened to me.

I enjoy watching, reading or listening to my favorite celebrity
because it means a good time.

I have pictures and/or souvenirs of my favorite celebrity, which I
always keep in exactly the same place.

When my favorite celebrity dies, I will feel like dying,
too.

If you answered yes to (2) and (4), your stargazing is probably on
the Entertainment-Social level of harmless escapism. If you agree with
(1) and (5), you may be engaged on the Intense-Personal level, where your
connection gets more intimate. As for (3) and (6), you may feel such a
strong connection that you overidentify with your favorite star.
