Abstract :

Binge watching has gained popularity in recent years as a source of pleasure and entertainment which ultimately ends up as a practice of watching frequent episodes of a television show or a series for a longer duration in a single setting without a break. Mindfulness has been studied across various psychological variables as a buffer technique. The objective of the research was to examine the association between Binge Watching Behavior and Mindfulness among young adults during the phase of pandemic. The study sample consisted of young adults belonging to the age group of 18 to 25 years, who were residents of India. The standardized tools used for the method of data collection are Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and Binge-Watching Engagement and Symptoms Questionnaire (BWESQ). Statistical analysis such as Mean, SD, Pearson's product moment correlation, were computed to analyze the obtained data. Statistical significance was considered at p value <0.05. The results indicated no significant relationship between Binge Watching Behavior and Mindfulness and similar findings were reported in relation to dimensions of Binge-Watching Behavior with Mindfulness. Though mindfulness did not yield as a significantly associated variable in this study, concepts such as conscious Binge watch, locus of control can be explored further to identify the relationship with binge watching further. A control group comparison would be helpful to understand whether mindfulness or controlled processing acts as an active intervention to identify or reduce binge watching.
