Abstract

This study explores the motivations underlying binge-watching behaviour on pornographic tube sites, using the Uses and Gratifications Theory as its foundation. This research identified five primary drivers of this behaviour: excitement seeking, diversion, fantasy, arousal, and habitual pastime. An online survey conducted among 380 participants in India sheds light on the importance of these factors in prompting extensive consumption of adult content on tube sites. Employing moderation and regression analyses, the research examines the influence of individual traits, such as sensation seeking and the need for cognition, in amplifying binge-watching tendencies. By analysing these interactions, the study offers a nuanced understanding of how personality differences and motivational factors converge to shape viewing behaviours in an Indian context.
在色情网站上狂看:理解动机和个人特征的作用
本研究以使用与满足理论为基础,探讨了在色情网站上疯狂观看行为的动机。这项研究确定了这种行为的五个主要驱动因素:寻求刺激、转移注意力、幻想、兴奋和习惯性消遣。一项在印度对380名参与者进行的在线调查揭示了这些因素在促进成人内容广泛消费方面的重要性。通过适度分析和回归分析,该研究考察了个人特征的影响,如寻求刺激和认知需求,在放大刷剧倾向方面的影响。通过分析这些相互作用,该研究提供了一个细致入微的理解,即性格差异和动机因素如何汇聚在一起,形成了印度人的观看行为。
