This research explores the representations of two minority religions in United States, the Amish and the fundamentalist Mormons (FLDS), in two reality shows produced in 2013: Breaking Amish and Breaking the Faith. To which extent these reality shows contribute to reinforce stereotypes about these minority religions? The hypothesis postulates that there is a convergence in the representations of minority religions in these reality shows which contributes to the reproduction of stereotypes. Based on theories of identity construction and on the study of new religious movements, the analysis shows that the same guiding lines are recurrent in both reality shows.

美国爱沙尼亚和摩门教徒基金会代言人（FLDS）美国比较

这项研究在2013年制作的两场真人秀中，探讨了美国的两种少数派宗教阿米什人和原教旨主义摩门教徒（FLDS）的表现形式：打破阿米什人和打破信仰。这些现实节目在多大程度上加深了对这些少数民族宗教的刻板印象？该假说假设，在这些现实节目中，少数派宗教的表现形式趋于一致，这有助于刻板印象的再现。基于身份建构的理论和对新宗教运动的研究，分析表明，在两种现实节目中都存在相同的指导方针。
