Abstract

In the modern world of the Internet and web series, watching numerous episodes in a row has become one of the most popular ways of recreation for young adults. This study examines different personality factors and their relationship with meaning in life among youth participating in excessive binge-watching behavior. The participants of the present study consist of 333 men and women within the age range of 18 to 35 years from Mumbai and its suburbs. They were assessed by using three different tools, namely the Binge-Watching Symptoms scale, the Big Five inventory and the Meaning in Life questionnaire. The data was analysed using Pearson product-moment correlation, followed by multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that openness to experience was the only trait that had a significant positive relationship and also acted as a significant predictor of meaning in life among young adults engaged in excessive binge-watching behavior.
