The relationship between Binge-Watching habits and academic procrastination among college students

This study aims to examine the link between binge-watching behaviors and academic procrastination among college students. The research involved 116 students from various universities in Jakarta. Data was collected quantitatively through a Google Forms questionnaire, utilizing purposive sampling. The survey was conducted in November 2022. The Binge-Watching Addiction Questionnaire (BWAQ) and the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (TPS) short version were the instruments employed. Results indicated a significant positive relationship between binge-watching habits and academic procrastination. Students who frequently engage in binge-watching are more likely to procrastinate on academic tasks, particularly when deadlines are distant. Additionally, some students reported watching while working on assignments. Consequently, a higher frequency of binge-watching correlates with an increased tendency for academic procrastination among college students
