Konsumsi Media, Gender, dan Binge-Watching
Abstract
Abstract. Media consumption refers to an activity carried out by individuals or groups in consuming various forms of available media such as movies. The media available in the digital era have wide, free, and unlimited access. The freedom to access the media must be balanced with critical thinking skills to avoid and overcome exposure to the negative impacts arising from consuming the media, because the negative impacts do not look at gender or age, men and women can all be negatively affected by excessive media exposure. In terms of movie media consumption and gender, the genre or type of a movie may attract audiences from certain gender groups. The development of the era into a digital era changes the habits and ways of consuming media, binge-watching is one of the new ways that emerged from the development of the era. The purpose of this research is to know the description of binge-watching in media consumption, to know the description of gender that has a greater possibility to do binge-watching, and to know the most motivating factor for a gender to do binge-watching. This research uses a quantitative research method with a descriptive approach by using Vroom's Expectancy theory which has been modified by Subramanian et al to strengthen the research. The conclusions obtained after conducting this research are binge-watching is a change in the way of media consumption produced by developments in the digital era that gave birth to online streaming platforms, women are the gender that has a greater possibility of binge-watching, and the entertaining factor is the most motivating factor for women to binge-watch.
