Description
Researchers study how different types of internet use affect social adaptation among older adults in 2023. Adaptation matters for aging well, yet the pandemic and wider internet use added strain for adults with little online experience.
The study surveyed adults aged sixty to eighty-three and sorted use into seeking information, social contact, practical tasks and leisure. Practical use and leisure use linked clearly to better social adaptation, while the other two types did not. Belief in one's control online and depth of involvement predicted all types of use. Programs should build those beliefs and stress practical and leisure use, the authors say.
