The study showed that girls who regularly watched reality TV shows tended to view a high level of drama, bullying and aggression as a social norm. Catfights captured on camera? Yep, comin’ to a cafeteria near you.
Most girls who took the survey (and regularly watched reality shows) said that gossip was a normal part of relationships between girls. They also reportedly valued physical appearance more than non-viewers. Our least-favorite stat? Thirty-eight percent think that a girl’s value is based on how she looks.
