Taiwanese people love to binge-watch dramas. Netflix points out that Taiwanese people are the most successful in the world in binge-watching dramas, finishing one drama every three days on average! During the consecutive holidays, it is a good time for many drama fans to binge-watch dramas, but do you know the health risks of binge-watching?
The following treatment days will sort out the health risks of watching dramas for everyone. I hope everyone can be a little more vigilant while relaxing watching dramas to avoid damaging their own health.
Why do you want to watch dramas?
Before talking about the health risks of binge-watching dramas, I would like to discuss why you want to binge-watch dramas?
Gayani DeSilva, a psychiatrist at the Family Health Center in Laguna, California, said that there are two important modes of interaction between the audience and the characters in the play. The first is the audience’s identification with the character, that is, seeing their own shadow in the character. This sense of identification allows the audience to project their own emotions and experiences into the plot. The second is the audience’s desire to become the characters. Whether in bustling New York or the picturesque European countryside, the protagonist in the play can allow the audience to temporarily escape reality and find space for imagination.
On the other hand, de Silva refers to “parasocial interaction,” a one-way interaction between the audience and the characters that makes the audience feel as if the characters are their friends and relatives. The establishment of this intimate connection allows the audience to have a deeper emotional connection with the characters in the drama while following the drama.
These interactions not only provide entertainment for the audience, but may also bring them psychological relief. Dr. Meyer, an American clinical psychologist, pointed out that watching TV dramas can help temporarily escape from busy and complicated real life and become an effective tool for stress management. Dr. Meyer explained that the constant stress and information overload in daily life make it difficult to shut down the brain, and watching dramas is like an iron door that blocks these stressors, allowing people to find a moment of peace and relaxation in the drama.
