Binge-watching is defined as watching multiple episodes of a TV show in a short time. It has been shown to have some negative psychological effects, including sleep disturbances, reduced productivity, social isolation, and eating disorders. In addition, there is evidence that binge-watching may impact the enjoyment of a show.  Specifically, Horvath et al. (2017) revealed that binge-watchers reported enjoying a TV show significantly less than people who watched the same show on a daily or weekly schedule. To examine this phenomenon, you randomly assigned participants to watch an entire TV series in the lab during either daily one-hour sessions or a single binge session. Participants were then asked to rate their enjoyment of the series on a scale of 0 – 100. Their ratings are presented below.
