Time Usage Efficiency on Binge Watching & Life Satisfaction Among 3 Age Groups

Abstract

This study examined the relationships among age, time usage efficiency, binge watching, and life satisfaction across three groups of 60 participants each. Descriptive statistics, Spearman’s rho correlations, and regression analyses revealed a slight increase in time usage efficiency (M = 29.3 to 30.6) and life satisfaction (M = 20.9 to 24.9) with age, while binge watching decreased (M = 76.2 to 70.7). Correlations showed a negative link between time efficiency and binge watching (rₛ = -0.34, p < .001), a positive association with life satisfaction (rₛ = 0.31, p < .001), and a negative tie to binge watching (rₛ = -0.24, p = .001). Regression models (R² = 5.54%– 9.81%) confirmed these trends, with non-normal data suggesting further research. Findings highlight the potential of enhancing time management and reducing binge watching to boost life satisfaction, especially among younger adults.
