This study replicates from a cross-sectional study about how young Latina teen viewers identify with and socially compare to teen mothers on MTV's over time. Identification and social comparison effects on attitudes toward teen pregnancy were assessed among the same group of Latina teen viewers at two different time points approximately one year apart. Results determined that upward social comparison and identification were associated with positive attitudes toward teen pregnancy in eighth grade, whereas downward social comparison was associated with negative attitudes toward teen pregnancy in ninth grade. Implications for teen mom reality programming audiences are discussed.
本研究复制了一项横断面研究，内容涉及青少年拉丁裔观众如何随着时间的推移在 MTV 的《少女妈妈俱乐部》（16 and Pregnant）中对少女妈妈产生认同和社会比较。在大约一年的两个不同时间点，对同一组拉丁裔青少年观众进行了认同和社会比较对青少年怀孕态度的影响评估。结果表明，在八年级时，向上的社会比较和认同与对青少年怀孕的积极态度有关，而在九年级时，向下的社会比较与对青少年怀孕的消极态度有关。讨论了对少女妈妈真人秀观众的影响。
