  • Description: Since it was not feasible to evaluate every interaction over the course of 16 programs, we limited our coding to those interactions that were exceptional or conspicuously offensive. The scripts of these shows use technically accurate terminology, creating a greater sense of authenticity. Because these shows appear realistic in many respects, the line between fact and fiction is blurred.
