The impact of cognitive age on Internet use of the elderly: an introduction to the public policy implications

Despite the growth of the Internet, one area that has not really been discussed is the elderly's use of the Internet. Given the rapid growth of this population as well as the potential the Internet holds for them, it is a subject worth consideration. However, seniors cannot be defined simply by their chronological age, but by their cognitive age. This paper discusses the impact of cognitive age of a national random sample of American elderly consumers on their Internet use. The results suggest that those seniors with a younger cognitive age use the Internet more than those seniors with an older cognitive age. Additionally, seniors with a younger cognitive age have more social contact off‐line (but not online) than those seniors with an older cognitive age. Finally, in terms of demographic variables, chronological age is positively associated with cognitive age and women report a younger cognitive age than men. These results suggest that for policy makers interested in increasing the participation of seniors, they can utilize the Internet to reach those who are younger in terms of cognitive age; however, they will not be able to reach all seniors in this manner and they need to utilize the Internet as a complementing media to their traditional communication sources.

互联网的高速发展催生社会化媒体,给旅游业带来不可忽视的影响,它的应用贯穿于旅游者的旅游购买行为的各个阶段。鉴于现阶段已有的关于社会化媒体以及旅游者的旅游购买行为的相关研究多为营销对策研究,较少涉及社会化媒体影响旅游者购买行为的作用机制研究,本文则针对此方面,使用实证研究的方法来探究社会化媒体对旅游者购买意愿的影响因素。结果表明,社会化媒体的有用性和社区性与社会化媒体的依赖性成正相关关系,社会化媒体的有用性同时还与感知价值成正相关关系;而感知价值及社会化媒体的依赖性则正向影响旅游者的购买意愿。本文最后建议企业在利用社会化媒体对其旅游产品进行营销时,选择有用性程度高的社会化媒体作为宣传,并且注重与旅游者的双向的沟通而不是单向的宣传。
