Abstract

Background: The second demonstration experiment of supporting elderly people going out with the Choisoko system was conducted. The first study showed that for women, friends, shopping, convenience, and events are factors that have the potential to be effective motivational factors for encouraging these women to go out. On the other hand, these factors did not lead to any behavioral change in men. Since there are approximately 15 million men over the age of 65 in Japan, behavioral changes in the entire elderly population will not occur without guidance for elderly men to go out.

Methods: Sixteen elderly men and forty-seven elderly women participated. Interestingly, men are far more passionate about games than women. Therefore, we hypothesized that a preference for games could be a hint as to how we might encourage older men to go out. Then, a second demonstration experiment was conducted, and we analyzed the relationship between six game preferences and the frequency of going out.

Results: Among gaming preferences, men with gaming preferences such as Philanthropists, Achievers, and Free Spirits showed a tendency to go out.

Conclusions: These stimuli may have the potential to be factors that may encourage elderly men to go out.

老年人外出动机与支持的协同效应 II：诱导老年男性外出的措施。

背景进行了利用 Choisoko 系统支持老年人外出的第二次示范实验。第一次研究表明，对于女性来说，朋友、购物、便利和活动等因素有可能成为鼓励这些女性外出的有效动机因素。另一方面，这些因素并没有导致男性的行为改变。由于日本 65 岁以上的男性约有 1,500 万人，如果不引导老年男性外出，整个老年人口的行为就不会发生改变：16 名老年男性和 47 名老年女性参加了调查。有趣的是，男性比女性更热衷于游戏。因此，我们假设，对游戏的偏好可能是我们鼓励老年男性外出的一个提示。随后，我们进行了第二次演示实验，分析了六种游戏偏好与外出频率之间的关系：结果：在游戏偏好中，具有慈善家、成就者和自由精神等游戏偏好的男性表现出了外出的倾向：结论：这些刺激可能是鼓励老年男性外出的潜在因素。
