Abstract: This study ...explores the associations among relationship variables and measures of both television viewing and belief in television portrayals by analyzing data collected from 392 married individuals. Results revealed that both heavier viewing of romantically themed programming and greater belief in television's portrayals of romantic relationships were associated with lower marital commitment, higher expected and perceived costs of marriage, and more favorable perceptions of alternatives to one's current relationship.

This is one of those findings that any player could've told you. The manosphere is full of guys saying how chick flicks raise girls' standards to ridiculous heights. But if you said that to your typical Western chick, or even your average married doofus, they'd write you off as a paranoid misogynist. People ask why studies like these matter when they demonstrate something that's obvious. Well some people have their heads so far up their ass, they're so blinded by ideology, that they need several studies like these to influence them. Even then, these might have no effect.
I'd write more, but I'm on my phone.
