Purpose This study aims to verify the mediating effect of the utilization performance of digital device on the relationship between user attitude and life satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach Using the data of 2018 Digital Divide Survey conducted by the National Information Society Agency(NIA), the mediating effect was verified by Baron & Kenny (1986)'s 3 step process, targeting 1,662 adults older than 55. Findings The result is as follows: first, the user attitude of middle and older aged people has a positive effect on their life satisfaction. Second, the effect of user Attitude towards Digital Device of middle and older citizens is partially mediated by the utilization performance of digital device. The results of this study indicate that when providing informatization education in the local community to promote the use of digital devices for the elderly, efforts should be made to grasp the level and inclination of informatization individually, and furthermore present improvements for wireless devices that the elderly can easily access in their daily lives. This study is expected to be a groundwork for a practical intervention to boost positive attitude towards using digital device to enhance the utilization performance of digital device and the life satisfaction of middle and older aged people.

Purpose In this paper, among the four information vulnerable groups(disabled, elderly, low-income, farmers and fishermen), the mediating effect of digital device usage attitudes in the effect of digital information utilization level of farmers and fishermen with a large digital information gap with the general public on life satisfaction was verified. Design/methodology/approach This study summarizes existing research related to the digital information gap between farmers and fishermen, and the empirical analysis is based on hierarchical regression analysis based on the 2022 Digital Information Gap Report (survey data on 2,200 farmers and fishermen) published by the Korea Intelligence Information Society Promotion Agency. Among the four major information vulnerable groups (the disabled, the elderly, low-income groups, and farmers and fishermen), attitudes toward using digital devices were examined in terms of the impact of the level of digital information use on life satisfaction among farmers and fishermen, who have a relatively large digital information gap with the general public. It was verified as a mediating effect. Findings As a result of the empirical analysis, attitudes toward the use of digital devices were found to play a mediating role in the impact of the level of digital information use on life satisfaction.

본 연구는 청장년장애인과 비교한 고령장애인의 모바일 사회참여 영향요인을 파악하였다. Heckman의 2단계 모형을 활용하여 분석하였으며, 1단계에서 모바일 기기를 보유한 인구를 대상으로 2단계 분석에서 모바일 사회참여 영향요인을 연구하였다. 고령장애인의 모바일 사회참여 영향요인은 독거가구가 아닌 경우, PC활용능력 수준이 높은 경우, 모바일 활용능력 수준이 높은 경우, 인터넷 활용능력 수준이 높을수록, 디지털 이용태도 수준이 높을수록 모바일 사회참여 수준이 높았다. 연구에 기초하여 고령장애인 모바일 사회참여 지원방안을 제시하였다. 우선 고령장애인에게 초점을 둔 정보화정책이 요구된다. 고령장애인을 위한 정보화교육의 확대, 모바일 사회참여 성공사례 발굴 및 확산 노력이 필요하다. 또한 독거 고령장애인에 대한 부가적 지원방안, 발달장애인 온라인 사회참여 연구를 제안한다. 향후 지속적인 고령장애인과 고령 비장애인 간 비교연구를 기대한다.
