This study investigates the circumstances under which binge-watching can become a problematic behavior. Applying a user-centered perspective, it demonstrates how different motivations to engage in high-dosage TV series consumption influence the occurrence of problematic viewing habits. A quantitative online survey of = 415 media users with access to at least one streaming service was conducted. The questionnaire assessed current viewing habits, motivations to watch series, and indicators of problematic viewing habits. The results suggest that frequency of use, motives to engage in high dosage viewing sessions, as well as the combined effect of these two factors help to explain problematic viewing behaviors. Moreover, the results give cause to refrain from a generalizing problematization of binge-watching.
本研究调查了 binge-watching 成为问题行为的情况。从以用户为中心的视角出发，它展示了参与高剂量电视剧消费的不同动机如何影响问题观看习惯的发生。对415名至少可使用一种流媒体服务的媒体用户进行了定量在线调查。问卷评估了当前的观看习惯、观看剧集的动机以及问题观看习惯的指标。结果表明，使用频率、参与高剂量观看时段的动机，以及这两个因素的综合作用有助于解释问题观看行为。此外，研究结果促使人们避免对 binge-watching 进行一概而论的问题化处理。
