My project is to create and Entertainment Education program with the audience of 15-19 y o males in suburban America for the purpose of providing strategies to avoid internet addictions and risky behaviors such as distracted driving.
I want to know the beliefs, attitudes, and preceptions around what is cool, popular behavior for boys 15-19, primarily mid to high SES, predom white. What motivates them to use media and why? What would motivate them to NOT engage in media? What incentivizes them? I do not know the minds of the 2017male 15-19 and any tips on their value system would be appreciated. So far, I know sex and getting a car are on the top of their list!
Boredom is one the key factor. Please see my blog on Psychology Today : Boredom as the crisis of desire.

I would look at the addiction literature because they have been looking at it seriously for some time. I do not know any research off the top of my head, but I have read studies through the past few years so do know they exist. Good luck GBH
