Internet use has been growing exponentially, and older adults are one of the fastest growing online user groups. Due to the various physiological and psychosocial changes associated with aging, older adults are prone to social isolation. The Internet and e-mail may serve as a new source of support for older adults by connecting them with friends and family members, as well as providing useful information. In this study, based on prior research findings in sociology, communications, and informatics, A Model of Computer-Mediated Social Support Among Older Adults that explains relationships among a computer-mediated social network (CMSN), perceived functional social support from that network, and psychological well-being of community dwelling older adults was proposed. The primary purpose of this study was to test this model using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
互联网的使用呈指数级增长，老年人是增长最快的在线用户群体之一。由于与衰老相关的各种生理和心理社会变化，老年人容易出现社会隔离。互联网和电子邮件可以通过将老年人与朋友和家人联系起来，并提供有用信息，成为老年人新的支持来源。在本研究中，基于社会学、传播学和信息学先前的研究结果，提出了一个老年人计算机介导的社会支持模型，该模型解释了计算机介导的社会网络（CMSN）、从该网络感知到的功能性社会支持以及社区居住老年人的心理健康之间的关系。本研究的主要目的是使用结构方程模型（SEM）来检验该模型。
