Question

article on negative effect of reality show

Answer 1

Children who view reality programs have been shown to suffer ill effects from the content of such programming.
One Australian study revealed that children who watched reality programming were significantly more likely to associate wealth, popularity and beauty as factors that contribute to happiness.
It's no surprise that these are values frequently held in high esteem by many participants of reality shows.
What's more, certain other reality programs such as "Fear Factor" that feature participants involved in disgusting or dangerous behavior inspired attempts to duplicate these acts by some younger viewers.
