Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara ikatan orangtua-anak dan interaksi parasosial terhadap selebriti favorit pada remaja akhir. Pengukuran interaksi parasosial terhadap selebriti favoritnya dilakukan dengan menggunakan alat ukur Celebrity-Persona Parasocial Interaction Scale (CPPI) yang dikembangkan oleh Bocarnea dan Brown (2007). Pengukuran ikatan orangtua-anak dilakukan dengan menggunakan alat ukur Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) yang dikembangkan oleh Parker, Tupling dan Brown (1979). Partisipan penelitian berjumlah 206 remaja akhir. Dengan melakukan teknik statistik Pearson Correlation, didapatkan hasil korelasi r = .037, n = 206, p > .05, two tailed pada PBI skor care dengan CPPI, dan r = -.031, n = 206, p > .05, two tailed pada PBI skor overprotection dengan CPPI. Hasil korelasi tersebut menjelaskan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang signfikan antara ikatan orangtua-anak dan interaksi parasosial.
