Exploring Viewers' Responses to Nine Reality TV Subgenres Psychology of Popular Media Culture © 2015 American Psychological Association 2015, Vol. 5, No. 1, 000 2160-4134/15/$12.00 http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/ppm0000103 Exploring Viewers’ Responses to Nine Reality TV Subgenres Mina Tsay-Vogel K. Maja Krakowiak Boston University University of Colorado, Colorado Springs Reality TV is a genre that places nonactors in dramatic situations with unpredictable outcomes. The influx of reality TV dominating network and cable programming has been highly reflective in its expansion of formats, evident from the variety of narrative themes embedded in reality-based shows. Findings from this exploratory study (N ϭ 274) reveal significant differences in the way college students affectively, cognitively, and behaviorally engage with reality TV. Specifically, identification, interactivity, enjoyment, perceived realism, and perceived competition across 9 reality TV sub- genres: dating/romance, makeover/lifestyle, hidden camera, talent, game show, docu- soap, sitcom, law enforcement, and court significantly differed. Data provide strong support that programs commonly defined as reality-based offer qualitatively distinct affective, cognitive, and behavioral experiences and gratifications for viewers.

    ARTICLE HERE COMES THE JUDGE! GENDER DISTORTION ON TV REALITY COURT SHOWS By: Taunya Lovell Banks∗ [W]e are seeing a shift from . the failed representation of the real . to . the impenetrable commingling of fiction and reality . representations no longer need to be rooted in reality. It is sufficient for images simply to reflect other images.1 Law has become … entertainment law.2 I. INTRODUCTION n 2000, television reality court shows replaced soap operas as the I top daytime viewing genre. Unlike the prototype reality court show, The People’s Court presided over by the patriarch Judge Wapner, a majority of reality court judges are female and non-white. A judicial world where women constitute a majority of the judges and where non-white women and men dominate is amazing. In real life most judges are white and male. During that break-through 2000-2001 television viewing season, seven of the ten reality court judges were male — three white and four black. Of the three women judges, only one Judy Sheindlin of Judge Judy was white. The others, Glenda Hatchett of Judge Hatchett, and Mablean Ephraim of Divorce Court, were black. At the beginning of the 2007-2008 viewing season there were still ten shows but women judges outnumbered men, and only two judges, Judy Sheindlin and David Young, were white. Five of the six women judges are non- white — three Latinas and two black Americans as are three of the four males — two black and one Latino. Judicial diversity, however, ∗Jacob A.
