I've been manipulated!: Designing Second Screen Experiences for Critical Viewing of Reality TV
summary
Researchers build two smartphone apps, Spotting Guide and Moral Compass, that let viewers tag production tropes during an episode and classify live Twitter posts by moral stance, pulling streams straight from broadcast hashtags. Two home-viewing trials (12 participants for spotting) show tagging provokes intense, lean-forward decoding — people report they now “deconstruct” TV — while the compass reveals diverse views but also self-censorship and trust effects; design needs friction plus planned lean-back breaks.
