Abstract

This study examines the relationship between social media use and life satisfaction among older adults, with a focus on the moderating role of self-esteem. Cross-sectional data from the 2021 Korea Media Panel Survey were analyzed, focusing on responses from 192 older adults aged 65 and older who had experience using social media platforms. The findings reveal that among older adults with low self-esteem, social media use is negatively associated with life satisfaction, whereas for those with high self-esteem, this association reverses and becomes positive. However, for older adults with medium self-esteem, the relationship between social media use and life satisfaction is not significant. This study contributes to the scholarly understanding of the structural relationship between social media use, self-esteem, and life satisfaction among older adults and offers insights for tailored interventions aimed at enhancing well-being in this demographic.

自尊在社交媒体使用与老年人生活满意度关系中的调节作用

本研究探讨了老年人使用社交媒体与生活满意度之间的关系，重点关注自尊的调节作用。研究分析了 2021 年韩国媒体小组调查的横截面数据，重点是 192 名有社交媒体平台使用经验的 65 岁及以上老年人的回答。研究结果表明，在自尊心较低的老年人中，社交媒体的使用与生活满意度呈负相关，而在自尊心较高的老年人中，这种关系则发生逆转，变为正相关。然而，对于自尊心中等的老年人来说，社交媒体的使用与生活满意度之间的关系并不显著。这项研究有助于学者们理解老年人使用社交媒体、自尊和生活满意度之间的结构关系，并为旨在提高这一人群幸福感的有针对性的干预措施提供启示。
