Mind Over Media: Regression Insights into Women’s Sleep Quality, Well-Being, And Binge Habits

Abstract

This research paper evaluated the interrelationship between binge-watching practices, sleep quality, and psychological well-being among women. A sample of 80 women was selected, and data were collected using the Binge-Watching Engagement and Symptoms Questionnaire, Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Sleep Quality Scale. These instruments were utilized to assess the binge-watching habits, psychological well-being, and sleep quality of the participants, with responses gathered through Google Forms. To investigate the associations, regression analysis was employed. The results indicated a positive however weak association (β =0.086, p = 0.448) between psychological well-being and sleep quality. However, there was no significant correlation found between binge-watching habits and sleep quality (β = 0.046, p = 0.689). The conclusions of this study thus, reveal that although sleep quality may be marginally influenced by an individual’s psychological well-being, binge-watching habits do not seem to be an influential indicator in the present context. In-depth investigation of these relationships necessitates further research incorporating larger sample sizes and various ethnicities.
