The modern social environment consists of active individuals, not isolated entities that occupy a central place in the technology-mediated and multimedia world of consumers and content creators. Therefore, the media environment is focused on producing easily accessible transmedia narratives especially present in hybrid television genres such as reality television. Media-generated realities retaliate against differentiating the virtual identity from the „real“ one, and for members of Generation Z as the true media natives, the existence of a difference between those identities is debatable. Furthermore, the perception of media influence of Generation Z members is the main goal of this research paper. The dominant thesis about the unconscious susceptibility to the influences of reality programs is presented through the concept of third person perception (TPP). The results obtained by this research showed among the respondents, and members of Generation Z, the existence of a perceptual gap between them and comparative groups. Also, perceived susceptibility to the influences of socially undesirable behaviors in reality content, as well as specific reality television programs is less present in research of individual participants than of comparative groups, which confirms the existence of the TPP effect.
