Abstract: Studies suggest mortality salience influences media choices when death themes are prevalent. This study focused on how these factors affected the viewing, streaming, and gaming during Covid-19 of 148 participants. Death anxiety was positively correlated with time spent playing video games but not with time spent streaming shows/movies during Covid-19.
