Capt. Kirk Cares About Me
According to psychologists researching the effects of television on the lonely, TV characters can add a sense of belonging. In other words, they can be our friends.
If that's true, I REALLY want to be the friend of Kaley Cuoco on "The Big Bang Theory."
Science Daily reports:
"The research provides evidence for the 'social surrogacy hypothesis,' which holds that humans can use technologies, like television, to provide the experience of belonging when no real belongingness has been experienced," says one of the study's authors, Shira Gabriel, Ph.D., UB assistant professor of psychology.
Now if you'll excuse me, Heidi Klum needs me.
