With the fast development of the internet, CP fandom behaviours have become an emerging
popular style of entertainment among young adults. The present study investigated the addictive
tendency of CP fandom behaviours and its relationships with parenting styles and view of love among
young adults. It was found that addictive CP fandom behaviours and father’s parenting styles (refusing
and overprotection) were positively correlated with view of ideal love. The bisexual CP fans were more
addicted to CP fandom behaviours than the heterosexual group. Addictive CP fandom behaviours
mediated the relationship between father’s parenting styles and view of ideal love.
