Digital Divides From Access to Activities: Comparing Mobile and Personal Computer Internet Users (2013, background): “These multiple divides occur as a sequence or hierarchy in various typologies (Bonfadelli, 2002; Chen & Wellman, 2004; DiMaggio et al., 2004; van Dijk, 2005, Chapter 6; van Dijk, 2012; Witte & Mannon, 2010).”
Mapping Digital Competence: Towards a Conceptual Understanding (2011, background): “DiMaggio et al. (2004) make the following observation: "… Internet competence is related to the satisfaction users derive from their experience, the extent to which they find it stressful or rewarding and therefore the extent to which they persist in Internet use and acquire additional skills….”
Network Effects and Social Inequality (2012, background): “Employing a potentially useful technology (e.g., a new software package) may require concentrated peer assistance in the early stages (DiMaggio et al. 2004).”
Too much face and not enough books: The relationship between multiple indices of Facebook use and academic performance (2012, methodology): “Demographic variables were included in their own block because previous research has found the effect of gender, socioeconomic status and/or ethnicity is significant in relation to technology use (Cooper & Weaver, 2003; DiMaggio et al., 2004; Hargittai, 2008a; Junco et al., 2010; Kaiser Family Found”
Cognitive ability and Internet use among older adults (2006, background): “While this poses an obvious limitation for generalizability, the ethnic homogeneity of the sample may strengthen its internal validity given concerns about the comparison of cognitive test scores between white and nonwhite subpopulations in the United States (see, e.g., Fischer et al., 1996).”
Bridging Digital Divides: a Literature Review and Research Agenda for Information Systems Research (2021, background): “Researchers foregrounded digital inequalities related to knowledge, economic and social resources, attributes of technology such as performance and reliability, and utility realization (DiMaggio et al. 2004; Van Dijk 2006; Van Deursen and Helsper 2015).”
The relationship between frequency of Facebook use, participation in Facebook activities, and student engagement (2012, methodology): “…research has found an important effect of gender, socioeconomic status, and/or ethnicity in relation to technology use (Cooper & Weaver, 2003; DiMaggio et al., 2004; Hargittai, 2008b; Junco, Merson et al., 2010; Kaiser Family Foundation, 2004); frequency and activities were included in…”
In-class multitasking and academic performance (2012, methodology): “Only a handful of published studies have examined the effect of multitasking on educational outcomes (Fried, 2008; Junco & Cotten, 2011; Junco & Cotten, 2012; Rosen et al., 2011; Wood et al., 2012). The studies by Wood et al. (2012) and Rosen et al. (2011) examined the impact of multitasking on imme”
Understanding the new digital divide - A typology of Internet users in Europe (2011, background): “Today, the new digital divide – or participation inequality – goes beyond the differences between the Internet ''haves'' and ''have nots'' (Hargittai, 2002; DiMaggio et al., 2004).”
Gaps and Bits: Conceptualizing Measurements for Digital Divide/s (2006, background): “For example, in the factor index of use , we can ﬁnd studies that measure how the length of time surﬁng online or frequency of surﬁng reﬂect the digital divide, but they do not measure the whole index that I refer to as “use” (e.g., (Cultural Access Group, 2001; Hargittai, 2002; Hoffman et al., 2000”
eHealth Literacy: Extending the Digital Divide to the Realm of Health Information (2012, background): “All of these variables focus on utilization rather than on mere accessibility [52]; these variables exemplify new differentiated usage patterns among the connected that have the potential to contribute to social inequality [17,50,51,53,54].”
Show me the way to go home: an empirical investigation of ride sharing and alcohol related motor vehicle homicide (2015, background): “Second, to control for the portion of the extant population unlikely to leverage the Uber service, we include the log of the population living in poverty, who have limited disposable income and are less likely to use cutting edge IT (DiMaggio et al. 2004), and those over the age of 65 (i.”
Succinct Survey Measures of Web-Use Skills (2012, background): “…measures of its uses including people’s abilities to use the medium effectively and efficiently, that is, their web-use skills (e.g., DiMaggio, Hargittai, Celeste, & Shafer, 2004; Gui & Argentin, 2011; Hargittai, 2002, 2008, 2010; Livingstone & Helsper, 2010; van Deursen & van Dijk, 2009; van…”
