New electronic media and addictive behavior

Overview
The IZT is conducting a research project on the topic „new electronic media and addictive behavior“.
The subject „media addiction“ is highly topical, with great significance both for the individual and for the policy. Basic leading questions of this TA study are: Which risks and strains can be reduced with regard to specific prevention strategies? What resources can be strengthened in terms of specific addiction prevention? What is the political relevance arising from the findings?
In May 2015, an explorative online survey will be carried out of the key stakeholders in the topic (www.stakeholderpanel.de).
It is planned to present and discuss the project results in a public event of the Deutscher Bundestag.
