摘要

本研究旨在按性别和年龄组比较非裔美国老年人的互联网使用情况,并按性别和年纪组调查互联网使用的相关性。2016年健康退休研究浪潮中,共有1117名50岁以上的非裔美国老年人参与了这项研究。采用顺序有序逻辑回归法,按性别和年龄组调查老年非裔美国人互联网使用的相关性。互联网使用频率存在显著的性别和年龄差异。相关因素的性别差异被揭示:老年和日常生活活动的限制只与女性更频繁使用互联网的几率降低有关。此外,更高的抑郁症只与男性更频繁使用互联网的几率降低有关。相关因素的年龄差异表明,教育和认知是老年人使用互联网的唯一两个重要因素。相比之下,对于年轻的老年人来说,退休、贫困、教育、认知和抑郁也是可以预测的。从业者在促进老年非裔美国人使用互联网时,应考虑到这些性别和年龄差异。这项研究的结果也可能为未来针对性别和年龄的干预措施的设计提供信息。

Correlates of internet use among African American older adults: Gender and age differences
This study aimed to compare internet use among African American older adults by gender and age group and investigate correlates of internet use by gender and age group. A total of 1117 African American older adults aged over 50 from the 2016 Wave of the Health Retirement Study were included in the study. Sequential ordinal logistic regressions were conducted to investigate correlates of internet use among older African Americans by gender and age group. Significant gender and age differences were identified in internet use frequency. Gender differences on correlates were revealed: being old-old and limitations on activities of daily living were only associated with decreased odds of more frequent internet use among women. In addition, higher depression was only associated with reduced odds of more frequent internet use among men. Age differences on correlates indicated that education and cognition were the only two significant factors pertinent to internet use among the old-old. By contrast, for young-old adults, retirement, poverty, education, cognition, and depression were also predictive. Practitioners should consider these gender and age differences when promoting internet use among older African Americans. The results presented in this study might also inform the design of future gender- and age-tailored interventions.
