Abstract

To study the impact of Binge-watching on Dissociation Binge-watching is a relatively new phenomenon that has gained popularity recently. Due to Covid 19 Lockdown, OTT platforms have seen a 65% increase in new subscriptions. Many studies have looked upon binging as a behavior, but minimal studies investigate the specific bingeing aspect, of binge-watching and the effects it might be causing. This study analyses binge-watching and its impact on dissociation-normative dissociation. The study consists of a survey design that helps to understand the relationship between binge-watching and dissociation. It comprised 125 responses divided into two age groups viz. 18-25 years and 25-30 years. The individuals were compared using the Binge Watching Engagement and Symptom Questionnaire (BWESQ) and the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale (CDS). It was hypothesized that there is no correlation between binge-watching and dissociation, there is no difference between excessive and non-excessive binge-watchers concerning dissociation, and there is no difference between the two age groups 18-25 and 25-30 concerning binge-watching and dissociation. Post correlation analysis, it was found that Binge-watching correlated positively with Dissociation. A difference is observed with respect to excessive binge-watchers and non-excessive binge-watchers for dissociation. It was also found that there is no difference between the age groups 18-25 and 26-30 on binge-watching and dissociation. These findings suggest that further research can be done on neuropsychological, executive functioning, and structural aspects of the same.
