Abstract:

Content analyses have examined the frequency and context of romantic conflicts on television. Drawing on this work, this paper explores the relations between television viewing and emerging adults’ use of control in romantic relationships. Findings showed small, marginally significant associations between relational control and (a) viewing television featuring interpersonal conflict and (b) reality television viewing. Soap opera viewing was significantly related to relational control. These relations were moderated by participants’ perceived realism of television content.
