This fascinating work provides an up-to-date examination of shifts in the nature and impact of TV and video watching that has largely been driven by non-linear TV and video services online.

The book reviews research evidence from around the world about the physical and behavioural shift of viewing away from linear and towards non-linear TV and video services. It studies the psychological factors that underpin and drive this shift, and the nature of binge-watching behaviour on people's physical and psychological health and social relationships. Along the way, it differentiates between "binge-watching" and "heavy-viewing" and considers binge-watching as a distinctive form of TV/video use that has its own reasons of occurrence and impacts.

The Psychology of Binge TV Watching is aimed principally at students and academics interested in Psychology, Media, Mental Health, and other related disciplines. It will also interest any readers looking to understand more about the psychology behind binge watching and the potentially positive and negative effects upon audiences.
