摘要

对老年人使用社交媒体的研究仍然有限。在中国日益数字化的推动下，作者将重点放在了中国老年人(60-75岁)使用微信的情况上。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定性解释的方法，对中国老年人进行访谈，揭示他们在日常生活中使用b微信的社会实践。运用社会实践理论(social practice theory, SPT)，揭示了中国老年人在日常生活中使用bbbo的社会实践，揭示了他们如何适应和抵制中国社会的剧烈变化。独创性/价值本研究通过强调技术使用的三个要素的动态特征，有助于从技术使用的角度对SPT进行新的理解。作者综合了SPT中的采纳和抵抗，并强调了在特定环境中相互依赖地理解三个要素的重要性，这是由结构和机构决定的。

Chinese older adults' social media use: a study of WeChat from a social practice perspective

Purpose Research into older adults' use of social media remains limited. Driven by increasing digitalisation in China, the authors focus on Chinese older adults (aged 60–75)’ use of WeChat. Design/methodology/approach This study used a qualitative interpretive approach and interviewed Chinese older adults to uncover their social practices of WeChat use in everyday life. Findings By using social practice theory (SPT), the paper unfolds Chinese older adults' social practices of WeChat use in everyday life and reveals how they adopt and resist the drastic changes in Chinese society. Originality/value The study contributes to new understandings of SPT from technology use by emphasising the dynamic characteristics of its three elements. The authors synthesise both adoptions and resistance in SPT and highlight the importance of understanding three elements interdependently within specific contexts, which are conditioned by structure and agency.
