Doomscrolling on Reddit: A UX Analysis of Doomscrolling Behavior
UX Research Study
A mixed methods UX research study analyzing 243 Reddit posts to investigate the psychological triggers, emotional consequences, and self-regulation strategies associated with doomscrolling. Using the Stimulus-Organism-Response model as an analytical framework, the study identified and empirically grounded a distinction between two behavioral subtypes, active doomscrollers driven by dopamine-seeking and FOMO, and passive doomscrollers driven by burnout and escapism, with implications for platform design ethics, digital well-being interventions, and future HCI research. Conducted in collaboration with Ethos Labs at Drexel University.
