In the research, the focus and difficult are the ways of the psychological interaction between the host and guests, the psychological influence and the effect on the interaction between the hose and audience. And I analyses the psychological crisis in the process of psychological interaction, for example"Hawthorne effect", and proposed the countermeasures.

When I tried to analyses the psychological interaction between guests and audience, the relations of the psychological interaction among host, guests and audience, I found that I could not research more deeply. If I want to do this research more deeply, I need more experience and information on the base of reference from the past achievement.
