In recent years, reality-based television programming has invaded
and overrun the ecology of the television landscape, and one would
be hard pressed to find a single network or cable channel without
some sort of reality-based programming. But how has this sudden and
overwhelming influx of reality television impacted viewers? This
study examines the impact that one specific type of reality
program, those based on competition, have had on the viewers who
watch them. Using a cultivation approach to media effects, this
study looks at how heavy consumption of competition-based reality
programming effects viewers' perceptions of the real world, as
compared to those who watch little or no reality television. Does
the prevalence of lying, manipulation, and untrustworthiness that
appear on shows like Survivor, The Apprentice, and The Bachelor
cause avid watchers of reality shows to be more likely see these
antisocial traits as larger societal problems? The book is intended
for media effects scholars and professionals in mass communication,
including those involved in programming and development. It is also
intended as a foundation for those studying reality television in
general.
