I see this more with television watchers, especially those that watch news, reality shows, and also use/follow news and reality "stars" on social media. Their entire model of human interaction is easily mapped to what they observe on the telly.
My wife unfortunately is one of those people. She brings a lot of additional drama into what should be a very stable relationship because that's what she's watched on TV her whole life. I've had to remind her a few times that we are not a TV couple.
Children are not immune, had to have a serious talk with my 9-year old daughter after she treated me very poorly/disrespectfully in front of her friends at her birthday party. I saw it was the same way kids on Nickelodeon and Disney channels treated their parents, for the laughs! I reminded my daughter there is no audience or laugh track, and our feelings are real and mine were hurt. It was effective, and she became a great teenager that gave me no disrespect through her teens.
