Abstract
This study examines how adolescents' involvement with entertainment celebrities mediates media effects on personal values and subjective well-being. A survey of 621 adolescents aged from 11 to 18 years old in Singapore showed that the three aspects of adolescents' involvement with celebrities—entertainment-social values, intense-personal feelings, and borderline-pathological tendencies—were associated with adolescents' media consumption, with the association between intense-personal feelings and media consumption a reciprocal one. The three aspects were directly or indirectly associated with the adolescents' materialistic values, self-esteem, and life satisfaction.
