What's behind Bieber Fever? Neuroscience offers an explanation: fans of Justin Bieber may be going through natural biological and emotional developmental stages. Scientists now have a better understanding of why teenagers- girls in particular- become so passionate about some musicians. Adolescent girls are likely to become infatuated with pop stars, experts say, because they are awakening to romantic and sexual feelings that are both intoxicating and scary. Having a crush on a celebrity is a way to try out such feelings at a safe distance. The Wall Street Journal, 6/26/2012 |
