Older Adults Talk Technology: Technology Usage and Attitudes (2010, methodology): “General materials—Standard CREATE materials (Czaja et al., 2006a) were used for assessing study eligibility and for collecting demographic, health, and technology experience information.”
Dividing the Grey Divide: Deconstructing Myths About Older Adults’ Online Activities, Skills, and Attitudes (2018, background): “…Selwyn, Gorard, Furlong, and Madden (2003) found that the low digital media use of older adults was related to perceiving it as not useful, while Czaja et al. (2006) found that older adults often experience issues of computer anxiety and low self-efficacy that affect their adoption of digital…”
Measurement of Digital Literacy Among Older Adults: Systematic Review (2020, background): “Performance-based measures like these may be suitable for studies targeting older adults, but it should be noted that clinical environments and personal fitness can greatly influence outcomes, especially if environments contain learners of mixed ability [69], rapid progression [34], and the possibil”
Demographic differences in perceived benefits from gamification (2014, background): “Furthermore, it has been shown that technology acceptance (Arning & Ziefle, 2007; Czaja et al., 2006) and perceived usability (Ijsselsteijn et al., 2007), which are affected by age (Arning & Ziefle, 2007; Czaja et al., 2006), play a major part in technology adoption and digital gaming.”
Review Paper: A Systematic Review of Patient Acceptance of Consumer Health Information Technology (2009, background): “Relative to younger adults, older adults are likely to perceive more anxiety, less comfort, lower efficacy, and less control over computers.(148,150,151) Furthermore, the use of CHITs by older adults could be restricted by several constraints such as motor limitations,”
From internet access to internet skills: digital inequality among older adults (2019, background): “This literature demonstrates that older people experience highly diverse psycho-social factors that impact technology adoption and use, such as confidence and comfort in using technology [21, 54].”
Internet adoption by the elderly: employing IS technology acceptance theories for understanding the age-related digital divide (2014, background): “Despite these bene ﬁ ts, a conspicuous age-related digital divide remains (Carter & Bélanger, 2005; Czaja et al , 2006; van Dijk, 2006; Agerwal et al , 2009).”
Age and adaptation to changes in the workplace (2010, background): “) has largely ignored age-effects, and because research on related topics such as technology use ( Czaja et al. , 2006”
Older adults: Are they ready to adopt health-related ICT? (2013, positive): “[16] found that adults over 65 years of age had fewer computer skills and had less computer self-efficacy than younger adults, possibly leading to reduced use or intention to use computer technology; these older users, however, were willing to attempt training and ready to use ICT when sufficient in”
Aging and Information Technology Use (2009, background): “Evidence for this was provided by Czaja et al. (2006) One potential reason for anxiety concerning technology—and hence, a potential barrier to adopting it—is that it can be poorly designed for the capabilities of aging adults.”
