Abstract

This study explores how communication students engage with audiovisual fiction as their primary source of entertainment in the digital age. Using Grounded Theory as the methodological framework, the research examines the emotional and cognitive experiences that shape their interaction with audiovisual narratives. Four focus groups and 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted with communication students. The findings indicate that entertainment consumption is strongly linked to mood, social dynamics, and identity construction, revealing a complex relationship between escapism, self-awareness, and collective participation.
