  • Abstract:
  • Doomscrolling—the habitual consumption of negative news on digital platforms—has emerged as a widespread behavior, particularly among youth. This study investigates the relationship between doomscrolling and psychological fatigue, a condition characterized by cognitive weariness and emotional depletion, among Indian college students. A cross sectional survey design was used, involving 150 students aged 18 to 30. Participants completed standardized questionnaires measuring doomscrolling behavior and psychological fatigue. Data analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the frequency of doomscrolling and levels of psychological fatigue. Nighttime scrolling habits were particularly associated with higher fatigue scores. These findings suggest that persistent exposure to distressing online content may contribute to mental exhaustion in young adults. The study emphasizes the need for digital well-being initiatives and education on mindful media consumption. Further research is recommended to explore causal relationships and the influence of moderating variables such as coping styles or digital usage patterns.
