Citations in the corpus

• Is it love or loneliness? Exploring the impact of everyday digital technology use on the wellbeing of older adults (2017, background): “According to Wagner et al. (2010) this is because the majority of studies on older adults’ use of technology are cross-sectional and only record a snippet of information at one single point in time.”
• An empirical study on trust in mobile banking: A developing country perspective (2016, background): “…as men (H3), which confirms previous expectations presented in the construction of our theoretical model (AlGahtani, 2011; Anderson,1996; Brosnan& Thorpe, 2006; Cruz et al., 2010; Hawthorn, 2000; Hwang, 2010; Korukonda, 2005; Laguna & Babcock, 1997; Venkatesh & Morris, 2000; Wagner et al., 2010).”
• The digital divide has grown old: Determinants of a digital divide among seniors (2016, background): “…argued that the digital divide will start reversing once those retire who already used the Internet during their labour time (Gilleard and Higgs, 2008; Peacock and Künemund, 2007) and that older adults are the fastest growing group among computer and Internet users (Kim, 2008; Wagner et al., 2010).”
• Routledge Handbook of Cultural Gerontology (2015, background): “Higgs and Rees-Jones draw on Bourdieu’s conceptualisation of habitus, the life-long dialectic between ‘disposition and position’ through which individuals set limitations on their perception of choices and settle on a position.”
• A nuanced understanding of Internet use and non-use among the elderly (2015, background): “Attitudes towards the Internet are generally considered an important determinant of use, and disposition towards the Internet plays an important role in its uptake by older adults (Wagner et al., 2010), especially when they indicate fear or unfamiliarity with ICTs (Saunders, 2004).”
• The Digital Divide Among Low-Income Homebound Older Adults: Internet Use Patterns, eHealth Literacy, and Attitudes Toward Computer/Internet Use (2013, background): “Second, to encourage Internet use among individuals with substantial disabilities, technology should be designed to be as user-friendly as possible [41].”
• Predicting the acceptance and use of information and communication technology by older adults: An empirical examination of the revised UTAUT2 (2017, result): “Apart from attitude toward computers, few relationships have been examined in multiple studies and therefore do not allow further validation of results (Wagner et al., 2010).”
• Technology Use by Older Adults and Barriers to Using Technology (2014, background): “…belief that price is the most limiting factor to technology use; however, research findings report that individual attitudes of mistrust (Gatto & Tak, 2008) toward computers and internet use, as well a perceived lack of benefit (Wagner et al., 2010) are the leading barrier our older adults face.”
