Abstract

Background: YouTube, the online video creation and sharing site, supports both video content viewing and content creation activities. For a minority of people, the time spent engaging with YouTube can be excessive and potentially problematic. Method: This study analyzed the relationship between content viewing, content creation, and YouTube addiction in a survey of 410 Indian-student YouTube users. It also examined the influence of content, social, technology, and process gratifications on user inclination toward YouTube content viewing and content creation. Results: The results demonstrated that content creation in YouTube had a closer relationship with YouTube addiction than content viewing. Furthermore, social gratification was found to have a significant influence on both types of YouTube activities, whereas technology gratification did not significantly influence them. Among all perceived gratifications, content gratification had the highest relationship coefficient value with YouTube content creation inclination. The model fit and variance extracted by the endogenous constructs were good, which further validated the results of the analysis. Conclusion: The study facilitates new ways to explore user gratification in using YouTube and how the channel responds to it.

TL;DR

This survey of 410 Indian student YouTube users examined how content viewing and content creation relate to YouTube addiction, and how four perceived gratifications (content, social, process, technology) influence those activities. Content creation had a stronger relationship with YouTube addiction than content viewing, and social gratification significantly influenced both viewing and creation.

Key findings

  • YouTube content creation inclination had a stronger positive relationship with YouTube addiction (β = 0.512, p < .001) than content viewing inclination (β = 0.319, p < .001).
  • Content gratification had the highest relationship with YouTube content creation inclination (β = 0.660, p < .001), while it was not significantly related to content viewing inclination.
  • Social gratification significantly influenced both content creation (β = 0.294, p < .001) and content viewing (β = 0.277, p < .001); process gratification significantly influenced content viewing (β = 0.442, p < .001) but not content creation.
  • Technology gratification was not significantly related to either content creation or content viewing, and mediation analysis found content, social, and process gratifications had significant indirect effects on YouTube addiction via viewing/creation, whereas technology gratification did not.

Methods

  • A survey of 410 Indian student YouTube users: 243 men (59.3%) and 167 women (40.7%); 219 undergraduates, 165 postgraduates, and 26 doctoral students. Respondents averaged 44.66 min/day on YouTube during working hours and 70.55 min/day during non-working hours.
  • The questionnaire included 38 statements measuring content, social, process, and technology gratifications; YouTube content viewing and creation affinity; and YouTube addiction. The YouTube Addiction Scale (six items) was adapted from the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale by replacing “Facebook” with “YouTube.”
  • Hierarchical structural equation modeling was used, with first- and second-order measurement models, maximum likelihood estimation, Baron and Kenny mediation analysis, and 2,000 bootstrap iterations; MANOVA and ANOVA examined gender and age differences.

Limitations

  • The paper states the study was confined to content viewing and content creation as major YouTube addiction variables, used a non-clinical convenience Indian-student sample aged 16–34, and relied on self-report and self-selected data subject to recall and social desirability biases.
  • The paper notes future research should use clinical and non-clinical samples from other countries and age ranges, examine mature age groups, explore more gratifications, and study content creation and viewing separately.
  • Evident from the design: the cross-sectional survey cannot establish causal direction between gratifications, YouTube activities, and addiction, and the addiction measure was adapted from a Facebook scale rather than developed specifically for YouTube.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • Content-gratification coefficient disagrees with Table 5

    Major

    The text gives the content-gratification-to-creation coefficient as 0.569, whereas Table 5 gives 0.660 for that relationship.

  • Social-gratification coefficients disagree with Table 5

    Major

    The text reports coefficients of 0.256 for content creation and 0.281 for content viewing. Table 5 reports 0.294 and 0.277, respectively.

  • Content-viewing variance is reported as both .300 and .207

    Major

    The structural-model text reports r2 = .300 for YouTube content viewing inclination, but Table 5 reports .207 for the same outcome.

  • Self-expression √AVE disagrees with its reported AVE

    Minor

    Table 2 reports self-expression AVE as .623, whose square root is about .789. Table 3 instead lists its √AVE as .831.

  • Process gratification's indirect effect is smaller than its direct effect

    Minor

    The discussion says indirect effects are higher than direct effects for content, process, and social gratifications. For process gratification, Table 6 gives an indirect effect of 0.366 and a direct effect of −0.487, which is larger in magnitude.

  • Addiction variance is reported as 30% despite r2 = .404

    Minor

    The sentence assigns YouTube addiction an r2 of .404 but says its predictors account for 30% of the variance. An r2 of .404 represents 40.4%, not 30%.

  • Social-gratification viewing coefficient also differs from Table 5

    Minor

    The reported viewing coefficient of 0.281 differs from the 0.277 shown for the same relationship in Table 5.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-09.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
