Abstract
Over-the-top (OTT) platforms have changed how people watch television due to technological affordance and interactivity. With the theoretical framework of the uses and gratifications theory ( N = 421), this study identified eight motivational factors for OTT viewing: convenient navigability, improved viewing experience, entertainment, relaxation, social interaction, companionship, voyeurism and information seeking. Some of the study’s prominent findings were: convenient navigability, improved viewing experience, entertainment and voyeurism were positive predictors of OTT affinity; Entertainment, voyeurism and information-seeking gratifications positively predicted satisfaction with the OTT, while convenient navigability negatively predicted satisfaction; Convenient navigability, improved viewing experience, entertainment and relaxation gratifications along with interactivity and viewing levels positively predicted the intention to cord-cut.
OTT（Over-the-top）平台因其技术优势和互动性改变了人们观看电视的方式。在使用和满足理论（N = 421）的理论框架下，本研究确定了 OTT 观看的八个动机因素：便捷的导航性、改善的观看体验、娱乐、放松、社交互动、陪伴、窥淫癖和信息寻求。研究的一些重要发现包括：便捷的导航性、改善的观看体验、娱乐性和窥淫癖是 OTT 亲和力的积极预测因素；娱乐性、窥淫癖和信息寻求满足感积极预测了对 OTT 的满意度，而便捷的导航性消极预测了满意度；便捷的导航性、改善的观看体验、娱乐性和放松满足感以及互动性和观看水平积极预测了剪线意向。
