Abstract
This study examines the moderating effect of sociodemographic factors on the relationship between motivation and outcomes of digital device use. The data from 'the 2020 Survey on the Digital Divide' conducted by National Information Society Agency was used for empirical analysis. Significant interaction effects were observed between sociodemographic characteristics and motivation. The results also show that motivation was a primary predictor of the differences in outcomes of digital device use, the third-level digital divide. These findings have implications for closing the third-level digital divide.
