Really? I would imagine that it is likely true, but what research have you taken this from? Just curious as I think it sounds interesting.

Anyway, as a self confessed genius and tortured poet I most definitely do not watch reality TV shows. In fact I have an aversion to most television.

Most of it is fluff.

Well, I would assume that people who watch reality shows are most likely to be sofa dwelling, overweight, numbskulls who read Heat magazine. I could be wrong, but knowing the demographics of the UK I am most likely correct.

Now all I am asking for is a little bit of scientific evidence as my assumptions could very well be very correct.

As a self proclaimed intellect Miles you should be aware that assumption is the mutha of all fcukups, it simply make an ass out of u and me

I am only an intellect of the areas that I profess to know. There is much that is blank for me and so assumptions are the only way to make light of incredibly murky areas such as reality TV.

I don't mind saying silly things sometimes anyway, but I don't see what I have said that is silly here. Research has been done into the relationship between texting and attention spans, so it is natural to assume that some kind of study had been conducted into the relationship between intellect and TV type. Colleges are out of ideas, they will fund anything new.

I don't claim to read every scientific journal nor know everything and so when I hang out on here I assume things and make my views known. It isn't always fact. I was just asking for facts here really.

Miles that is nonsense. I will not stand here and allow you to insult Fluff any longer.

My little sister is a sociology major, she has all this data with academic scientific journals. I should correct myself and say the people that watch these reality shows have a lower IQ than the population's mean of 100. Usually around 80-95. I wouldn't say it causes low IQ but that people that watch it has LOWER IQs than the mean of 100. It said something that people with lower IQ than the mean of 100 tend to engage in non-intellectual activity more and watching reality tv shows was one of them. I remember it was in some issue of Social Psychology. I'll try to find it and post it.
Pretty interesting huh?
