Reality television has spread like wild fire, leaving little doubt that your children are likely to come across multiple examples of this type of programming — even those with casual viewing habits. It may leave you wondering what the potential impact of this is. Examining what is already known about reality shows and their influence on children can help you make informed decisions about how to handle the issue in your own home.
Children as Viewers
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.
