The results illustrate that the gossip of celebrities would help develop different abilities of Life Skills depending on whether generation Z are fans or not. One is when generation Z exposes to celebrities’ gossip. Fans learn more dimensions than non-fans. The pattern suggests that fans have thought more profoundly than non-fans. The other is that fans learn more about active citizenship than non-fans, especially with respect for diversity. In addition, fans may have a more vital ability to accept new things. Apart from that, fans are educated prominently in personal empowerment because they need to experience the sadness and bounce back from the negative scandal.
