(IsraelNN.com) Psychologists and other experts in the Education Ministry are planning to study and discuss the impact of reality television on children and teenagers, according to Yediot Acharonot. The meeting is scheduled to take place later this week.

Ministry officials say parents and educators have expressed concern over the effects of programs such as “Big Brother” and “Survivor.” One problem is that characters who consistently exhibit bad behavior and poor treatment of others often win the contest, officials said.
