This study examined how digital literacy moderates the relationship between ageism experiences and social participation among community-dwelling older adults.
Regression analysis of data from the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans with 9,920 participants was conducted to identify the association of ageism experiences with social participation in model 1. The moderating effects of digital literacy were examined by adding an interaction term in model 2.
In model 1, both ageism experiences and digital literacy were significant predictors of social participation. However, in model 2, the interaction term of digital literacy rendered the association between ageism experiences and social participation non-significant. Model 2 explained approximately 18.4 % of the total variance in social participation.
By highlighting the importance of digital literacy in increasing social participation among older adults, this study offers valuable insights for interventions aimed at improving digital literacy to promote successful aging in a technology-dependent society.
本研究考察了数字素养如何调节社区居住的老年人中年龄歧视经历与社会参与之间的关系。
对 2020 年全国韩国老年人调查的 9920 名参与者的数据进行回归分析，以确定模型 1 中年龄歧视经历与社会参与之间的关联。通过在模型 2 中添加交互项来检验数字素养的调节作用。
在模型 1 中，年龄歧视经历和数字素养都是社会参与的显著预测因素。然而，在模型 2 中，数字素养的交互项使年龄歧视经历与社会参与之间的关联变得不显著。模型 2 解释了社会参与总方差的约 18.4%。
本研究通过强调数字素养在提高老年人社会参与中的重要性，为旨在提高数字素养以促进技术依赖型社会中成功老龄化的干预措施提供了有价值的见解。
