New study says watching the Kardashians makes you a worse person

Watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians for as little as 60 seconds may sap your sympathy for the poor, a new study claims.

The research from the London School of Economics (LSE) found that exposure to "materialistic media" and TV shows that "glamorize fame, luxury, and wealth accumulation" may bring about anti-welfare and materialistic sentiments, according to the Telegraph UK.

Two control groups, 487 adults in total, were shown distinct media. One group was shown adverts for luxury products and photos of rich celebrities, and the other "neutral images" about public transport, natural scenery and more. "Results showed that even a small amount of exposure to materialistic media had a negative impact on both anti-welfare attitudes and support for anti-welfare policies," the Telegraph UK reports.

Participants were also polled about their viewership of "materialistic" television programs such as Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and researchers again found regular viewers exhibited "stronger materialistic and anti-welfare attitudes than lighter consumers of these shows."

"Humans are inherently materialistic but also very social and communal," explained study author Dr. Rodolfo Leyva of LSE's Department of Media and Communications department.

"The way this is expressed depends on our culture. If there is more emphasis on materialism as a way to be happy, this makes us more inclined to be selfish and anti-social, and therefore unsympathetic to people less fortunate."

"I am living proof that if you put your mind to something you can not only achieve it, but you can go above and beyond the expectations of what you thought that you could do. After you open one door, the crazy thing is you find out that there are seven more doors that you could open," Hart said. "Education is that first door. breeze through this!

"This is the opportunity of a lifetime breeze through it! When you get to that next door…breeze through that. Success is what you want it to be," he added. "At the end of the day, we are what we want to be. Do not allow others to hold you back."
