摘要

本研究旨在回答老龄化和老年人在信息行为和信息寻求方面存在什么样的研究。在LISA和Scopus两个数据库中进行了系统的文献综述。结果被细化和标记为主题，并聚类到主要的研究课题。(在线)健康信息行为是与老龄化和老年人有关的最大研究课题。代表性不足的主题是卫生保健部门以外的信息需求和行为。年龄歧视观点在信息行为研究中非常普遍。现有关于(在线)健康信息行为的研究主要针对老年、虚弱和疾病的消极方面，这可能会放大老年人和老龄化的刻板印象。本文建议研究领域应转向更多样化的主题，并更谨慎地使用年龄这一人口统计学变量，以减轻年龄歧视。

An ageist perspective on age and older adults in information behaviour research

This study aims to answer the question what kind of research exists on aging and older adults in information behaviour and information seeking. A systematic literature review was conducted in two databases, LISA and Scopus. The results were refined and tagged thematically and clustered into main research topics. (Online) health information behaviour is the largest research topic in relation to aging and older adults. Underrepresented topics are information needs and behaviour outside of the health care sector. An ageist perspective is strongly present in information behaviour studies. Existing research on (online) health information behaviour primarily addresses a negative aspect of old age, frailty and illness, which may amplify the stereotypical image of older people and aging. This paper suggests that the research field should turn to topics that are more diverse and use the demographic variable of age more carefully in order to mitigate ageism.
