was “crazy.” However, does the song accurately reflect the superfan culture that it ended up naming?
“We've looked at issues like loneliness, and we’ve tried to determine if lonely people are more susceptible to moving on to the higher or more obsessive levels [of fandom],” he tells, which divides levels of fandom into three groups: Entertainment Social , Borderline Pathological , and Intense Pathological .
Conversely, Gayle S. Stever, Ph.D, associate professor of developmental psychology for Empire State College, suggests that “committed fans” are completely capable of living normal, everyday lives, a conclusion made in her 2011titled “Celebrity Worship: Critiquing a Construct” for the Journal Of Applied Social Psychology.
“I think most of the people in these fan clubs are just normal people who admire a particular person and find [fandom] a social outlet,” Dr. McCutcheon says. “If I greatly admired [NBA star] LeBron James, and I sought out some friends who also admired him, that would give us something to talk about, and something that we can agree upon. It greases the social wheels in a way.”
