a double take on Reality Television laverne cox s political and pedagogical gestural humor
Feminist Media Studies, 2017Co-Authors: Nicole Erin MorseAbstract:AbstractAlthough Laverne Cox has become best known as a serious actress, advocate, and activist, her career was propelled forward by an appearance on Reality Television. While her participation in the Reality Television show I Want to Work for Diddy is usually only addressed within the context of representational politics, this article contends that her performance on the show demands additional attention, specifically her use of politically charged gestural humor. Through close-analysis of Cox’s double-take, I argue that Cox uses gestural humor to resist Reality Television’s demand for emotional authenticity and stereotyped performances, particularly the stereotype of the angry black woman. Moreover, I demonstrate that Cox uses the double-take to position herself as an audience surrogate, using humor pedagogically to teach the audience how to respond to transphobia critically.

beauty ideals from Reality Television and young women s tanning behavior an internalization and self objectification perspective
Communication Quarterly, 2018Co-Authors: Jolien Trekels, Steven Eggermont, Eva Koppen, Laura VandenboschAbstract:The current cross-sectional study among 444 young Belgian women (Mage = 20.08; SD = 0.91) examined the influence of Reality Television exposure on tanning behavior, which is known to be a risk factor for the development of skin cancer among young women. In addition, it was explored whether the internalization of sun tan ideals from media content and self-objectification could explain this association. As such, this study introduced body image perspectives into media health research. A structural equation model revealed that watching Reality Television was related to the internalization of sun tan ideals and self-objectification. In turn, the internalization of sun tan ideals and self-objectification related to exposure to harmful UV radiation. This study therefore provides evidence for the explanatory value of both mechanisms in the relationship between Reality Television and UV exposure. Implications for skin cancer prevention campaigns are discussed.

sexualizing Reality Television associations with trait and state self objectification
Body Image, 2015Co-Authors: Laura Vandenbosch, Amy Muise, Steven Eggermont, Emily A ImpettAbstract:Abstract Two studies combining cross-sectional and daily experience methods tested whether watching sexualizing Reality Television is associated with self-objectification in women. In Study 1, an online survey of 495 undergraduate women, we demonstrated that watching sexualizing Reality Television was associated with higher levels of trait self-objectification. In Study 2, an online daily experience study of 94 undergraduate women, we extended the results from Study 1 by focusing on state self-objectification and showed that changes in daily exposure to sexualizing Reality Television correspond to fluctuations in the importance participants attached to appearance, but were unrelated to the importance attached to body-competence. The results of these two studies with multiple methods provide support for the influence of exposure to sexualizing Reality Television to the development of an objectified self-concept but also underline differences in how exposure to sexualizing Reality Television relates to trait and state self-objectification.

perceived realism and twitter use are associated with increased acceptance of cosmetic surgery among those watching Reality Television cosmetic surgery programs
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2014Co-Authors: Joshua Fogel, Kahlil KingAbstract:BACKGROUND: Reality Television programming is a popular type of Television programming, and features shows about cosmetic surgery. Social media such as Facebook and Twitter are increasingly popular methods of sharing information. The authors surveyed college students to determine among those watching Reality Television cosmetic surgery programs whether perceived realism or social media use was associated with attitudes toward cosmetic surgery. METHODS: Participants (n=126) were surveyed about their Reality Television cosmetic surgery program viewing habits, their perception of the realism of Reality Television programming, and social media topics of Twitter and Facebook. Outcome variables were the Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scales of social, intrapersonal, and consider. RESULTS: Perceived realism was significantly associated with increased scores on the Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale subscales of social (p=0.004), intrapersonal (p=0.03), and consider (p=0.03). Following a character from a Reality Television program on Twitter was significantly associated with increased social scores (p=0.04). There was no significant association of Facebook behavior with attitudes toward cosmetic surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Cosmetic plastic surgeons may benefit by advertising their services on cosmetic surgery Reality Television programs. These Reality Television programs portray cosmetic surgery in a positive manner, and viewers with increased perceived realism will be a potential receptive audience toward such advertising. Also, advertising cosmetic surgery services on Twitter feeds that discuss cosmetic surgery Reality Television programs would be potentially beneficial.

Twitter use related to Reality Television characters: Association with increased marijuana use
Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce, 2017Co-Authors: Joshua Fogel, Yosef TravisAbstract:ABSTRACTIn the United States, there are debates about marijuana legalization for either medical or recreational use. These debates may be reflected in traditional media, such as Reality Television, and through social media, such as Facebook or Twitter. We study the relationship of social media use for Reality Television topics and marijuana use. We surveyed 572 college students about marijuana use, demographic characteristics, Reality Television related Facebook and Twitter use, and other Reality Television variables. Logistic regression analyses studied the relationships of these variables to marijuana use. Following a Reality Television character on Twitter was significantly associated with increased odds for marijuana use. Reality Television Facebook use was not significantly associated with marijuana use. In addition, women and Asian Americans were significantly associated with decreased odds for marijuana use. Those born in the United States were significantly associated with increased odds for marij...
