Abstract
Objectives
Studies show that using information and communication technology (ICT) contributes significantly to elders’ subjective well-being (SWB). Drawing on the Selective Optimization with Compensation (SOC) model, this study aims at exploring the mechanism by which ICT use helps older adults remain engaged in valued life activities and maintain their SWB.
Method
Involving teams from seven countries (Canada, Colombia, Israel, Italy, Peru, Romania, Spain), 27 focus groups were conducted with a total of 184 grandmothers aged 65 years and older who use ICT.
Results
Analysis led to identification of a series of strategies related to ICT use that may be described in SOC terms. “Intentional limited use” and “Selective timing,”, for example, are clearly associated with selection. In addition, numerous optimizing strategies were found to be applied in “Instrumental” and “Leisure” activities, whereas some ICT uses offered compensation for “Aging-related” and “General” challenging circumstances.
Discussion
The study suggests that ICT is used in all three SOC processes and that its effective application facilitates adjustment and enhances SWB. It should therefore be regarded as a resource that supports existing personal and social resources and life management strategies, and even as a Quality of Life Technology that maintains or enhances functioning in older adulthood.

数字时代的老龄化:带补偿的选择性优化过程中的技术。

摘要
目标
研究表明,使用信息和通信技术(ICT)对老年人的主观幸福感(SWB)有很大贡献。这项研究以有偿优化选择(SOC)模型为基础,旨在探索ICT使用的机制,帮助老年人保持有价值的生活活动并维护自己的SWB。
方法
来自七个国家(加拿大,哥伦比亚,以色列,意大利,秘鲁,罗马尼亚,西班牙)的团队参与了27个焦点小组的调查,共有184位65岁以上的使用ICT的祖母参加。
结果
分析导致确定了一系列与ICT使用有关的策略,这些策略可以用SOC术语来描述。例如,“故意限制使用”和“选择性时机”显然与选择相关联。此外,人们发现在“工具”和“休闲”活动中应用了许多优化策略,而某些ICT的使用为“与衰老有关”和“一般”挑战性环境提供了补偿。
讨论区
研究表明,ICT在所有三个SOC流程中均得到使用,并且其有效应用有助于调整和增强SWB。因此,应将其视为支持现有的个人和社会资源以及生活管理策略的资源,甚至应被视为维持或增强老年人功能的生活质量技术。
