英文摘要
Many people find technology helpful, but seniors tend to use technology less than others. We apply constructs from the Theory of Planned Behavior to investigate the factors that drive technology use in Taiwan’s rapidly growing senior population. A structural equation model was built using the attitudinal, behavioral, and use variables collected. Affect, the influence of friends, and comfort with technology were found to affect intentions and use significantly. We discuss the implications and limitations of our findings, plus offer suggestions for future research.
