过去的研究考察了各种媒体对危险行为的描述，包括电视、广告和电影。为了解决一个未被开发的领域，本研究分析了2004年至2011年在青少年观众中流行的MTV真人秀节目中的饮酒、吸烟和性行为。剧组成员的人口统计特征也与他们的危险行为有关。结果显示，酗酒和随意的性行为在演员中很普遍。吸烟和更强烈的性行为也存在，但程度较小。男性和年轻的成年演员比女性和青少年演员更有可能从事危险行为。此外，少数民族角色比白人演员更经常喝酒。本文基于社会认知理论和超级同伴概念对这些发现进行了解释。对未来的研究提供了启示。
Past research has examined portrayals of risk behavior in various media, including television, advertising, and film. To address an underexplored area, this study analyzed drinking, smoking, and sexual activities in MTV reality programming popular among adolescent viewers from 2004 to 2011. Cast members' demographic attributes were also examined in relation to their risk behaviors. Results demonstrated that drinking and casual sexual behaviors were pervasive among cast members. Smoking and more intense sexual behaviors were also present, but to a smaller degree. Men and young adult cast members were more likely to engage in risk behaviors than women and teenage cast members. Also, ethnic/racial minority characters were shown drinking more often than were White cast members. Interpretations of these findings are discussed based in social cognitive theory and the concept of super peers. Implications for future research are provided.
