Why College Students Watch Streaming Drama at Higher Playback Speed:The Uses and Gratifications Perspective

This study examines why college students watch streaming drama at higher playback speed by applying the uses and gratifications theory. An online survey completed by 204 college students identified six different motivations for higher-playback speed usage: time efficiency, psychological repellence to plot-dragging slow-paced drama, herd mentality, personal preference, entertainment, and curiosity, each can be ranked by the level of gratification. The greatest gratification was for time efficiency, pursuing a fast-paced life; followed by curiosity and entertainment; ended with escaping from the stresses and recognition from others.
