Development resources for Quality of Life in Old Age 2005 (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. The central research question of this project is: Does Internet use represent a resource for life quality in old age? In order to answer this question, different areas of the life quality of older people on the one hand, and internet usage behaviour and attitudes towards the internet on the other are being investigated. Questions about the life quality of older people are linked to this research interest. Which areas of life are important for the life quality in old age? What role do different dimensions of life quality play? In order to answer these questions, an attempt is made to apply and further develop existing models of life quality. The use of the internet as a possible resource for life quality in old age requires a precise analysis. How is the internet used? Are there different types of use in which the influence on the life quality varies? The aim is a differentiated view of older internet users in connection with the life quality. Non-users were mainly included in the study as a comparison group. In addition, however, an attempt is made to identify and analyse reasons for non-use and the potential for future use in order to generate socio-political added value for the development of strategies to close the "digital divide" in addition to the gain in knowledge about internet users.

本数据集为科研专用完整版。本项目的核心研究问题为：互联网使用能否作为老年群体生活质量（life quality）的支撑性资源？为解答该问题，研究将从两方面展开：一方面聚焦老年群体生活质量的不同维度，另一方面则探讨其互联网使用行为与网络使用态度。与此研究目标相关的问题包括：哪些生活领域对老年生活质量至关重要？生活质量的不同维度各自发挥着怎样的作用？为解答上述问题，研究将尝试应用并拓展现有的生活质量研究模型。将互联网作为老年生活质量支撑资源的可行性分析，需要开展精准化研究，具体包括：互联网的使用模式如何？是否存在不同的使用类型，且各类使用对生活质量的影响存在差异？本研究旨在针对老年互联网使用者及其与生活质量的关联，形成精细化的分析视角。研究主要纳入非互联网使用者作为对照组。此外，研究还将尝试识别并分析非使用互联网的动因与未来使用潜力，以期在获取互联网使用者相关研究成果之外，为制定缩小‘数字鸿沟’的社会政策策略提供社会政治层面的附加价值。
