作者：

Highlights：

• This study was conducted on a multinational sample of 12,616 TV series viewers.

• We cross-culturally validated two scales measuring binge-watching motivations and engagement.

• The WTSMQ and BWESQ are reliable and valid measurement instruments in 9 languages.

• The WTSMQ and BWESQ may enable comparability of data across international studies.

• The WTSMQ and BWESQ may promote an understanding of binge-watching across cultures.
