초록

본 연구는 디지털 격차가 노인의 디지털 일상생활에 미치는 영향력을 분석하는 것이다. 60세이상의 노년층을 대상으로 디지털 격차에 대한 적응경향성을 측정하여 집단으로 구분하였고, 디지털 의사소통 기술, 디지털 자신감, 디지털 자기통제감, 디지털 생활만족을 측정하였다. 연구모형은 교차설계 모형과 이중매개모형을 적용하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 디지털 격차에 대한 적응 접근성이 높은 집단이 전반적인 디지털 일상생활에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 디지털 격차에 대한 적응 활동성이 높은 집단이 디지털 자기통제감에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 디지털 의사소통 기술이 디지털 생활만족에 긍정적인 영향을 미치며, 디지털 자신감과 디지털 자기통제감은 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 노년층의 디지털 격차에 대한 극복 전략에 대해 논의하였다.

This study is to analyze the influence of the digital divide on the digital daily life of the elderly. Adaptation tendencies for digital divide were measured and classified into groups for elderly people over 60 years old. And digital communication skills, digital confidence, digital self-control, and digital life satisfaction were measured. The research model used a cross over design model and a dual mediation model. As a result of the study, first, it was found that a group with high adaptive accessibility to the digital divide had a positive effect on the overall digital daily life. Second, a group with high adaptive literacy to the digital divide had a positive effect on the digital self-control. Third, digital communication skill has a positive effect on digital life satisfaction, and digital confidence and digital self-control play a mediating role. Based on these findings, we discussed strategies to overcome the digital divide in old age.
