Abstract

Background: This study categorized older Korean adults' social networks and analyzed their characteristics and digital literacy differences based on type.

Methods: We analyzed data from 9,377 Korean older adult participants of the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans, and performed latent class analysis (LCA) chi-square and Welch's F analyses to understand the characteristics of each social network type. The Games-Howell post-hoc test was applied to determine the significance of differences between groups.

Results: The three social network types derived using LCA were "child-centered," "child-friend," and "friend-centered." The digital literacy levels differed significantly according to social network type.

Conclusion: The results of this study can be used to propose intervention programs and services associated with older adults' social networks by examining their social network types and the corresponding differences in digital literacy.

韩国老年人的社交网络类型与数字素养差异：潜类分析

研究背景本研究对韩国老年人的社交网络进行了分类，并根据类型分析了他们的特征和数字素养差异：我们分析了2020年韩国老年人全国调查的9377名韩国老年人参与者的数据，并进行了潜类分析（LCA）χ2和韦尔奇F分析，以了解每种社交网络类型的特征。采用 Games-Howell 事后检验来确定组间差异的显著性：使用 LCA 得出的三种社交网络类型分别是 "以儿童为中心"、"以儿童为朋友 "和 "以朋友为中心"。数字素养水平在不同社交网络类型之间存在显著差异：通过研究老年人的社交网络类型和相应的数字素养差异，本研究结果可用于提出与老年人社交网络相关的干预计划和服务。
