An unfortunate tendency in previous HCI research has been to give the impression that it aims to ‘fix the problem’ of human ageing, suggesting a ‘deficit’ model of ageing or a ‘prosthetic’ model of technology. We conducted diary-aided interviews to investigate how technology use is situated in active, healthy older adults’ meaningful participation in community music. We argue that recognizing community music practices and technology use as situated action provides opportunities to grasp the subtleties of social participation and design for active ageing. We identified technology-mediated music practices, such as music sharing and revisiting, and how they evolved through the reconfiguration of connections between technology, competence, and forward-facing identities. We found that identity development, via routes such as exercising control, role transitions, and social spaces, had psychological significance and implications for active ageing. We explore how HCI leverages the perspective of active ageing and might facilitate older adults’ meaningful participation enhanced by technologies.

了解有意义的参与以及社区音乐中技术的主动使用，以实现积极的老龄化

以前的人机交互研究的一个不幸趋势是给人一种印象，它的目的是“解决人类衰老的问题”，暗示了衰老的“赤字”模型或技术的“假体”模型。我们进行了日记辅助访谈，以调查技术使用在活跃，健康的老年人有意义地参与社区音乐中的地位。我们认为，将社区音乐实践和技术使用识别为处境行为，为把握社会参与的精妙之处和积极衰老的设计提供了机会。我们确定了技术介导的音乐实践，例如音乐共享和重访，以及它们如何通过技术，能力和前向身份之间的联系的重新配置而演变。我们发现，通过行使控制权，角色转变和社交空间对于积极老龄化具有心理意义和意义。我们探讨了人机交互如何利用主动衰老的视角，并可能通过技术促进老年人有意义的参与。
