ABSTRACT

We live in a world of digitization. Information, transactions, communication and relationships‌ have transformed through online media. With access to series, the online audience is increasing rapidly. Young adults and teenagers are exposed to virtual content and are not even aware about how it impacts their thoughts, feelings and actions. The aim of this study is to find out how binge watching is related to loneliness, interpersonal competence and interaction anxiety in young adults aged between 18-30 years. A random sample with 112 participants was administered standardized measures of Binge-Watching Addiction Questionnaire (Forte et al,2021), DeJong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DeJong Gierveld & Van Tilburg, 2006), Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire (Buhrmester et al, 1988) and Interaction Anxiousness Scale (Leary, 1983). The responses were analyzed through SPSS Statistics Version 29. The findings revealed significant relationship between binge watching and interaction anxiety. The implications of findings for young adults along with suggestions have been discussed.
