数字时代下老年人互联网使用影响因素研究——基于CGSS2021年数据的分析
Research on Influencing Factors of Elderly People’s Internet Use in the Digital Age—Based on the Analysis of CGSS2021 Data

数字时代，老年人属于互联网使用频率较低的群体，其面临的“数字鸿沟”问题不断涌现，理解数字化背景下老年人的互联网行为并分析其影响因素，对促进其适应并融入数字社会有积极意义。基于中国综合社会调查(CGSS) 2021年数据，采用Logistic回归模型和稳定性检验分析了影响老年群体使用互联网的重要因素。经研究发现：生活在城市地区、有更高的教育水平、丰富的互联网经验、更强的认知能力、更高的个人收入的老年人更容易接入互联网。研究结果在一定程度上验证了相关因素对老年群体使用互联网的影响大小，有利于帮助老年人更好地化解“数字鸿沟”，积极地面对人口老龄化，实现数字科技和老年群体的共生发展。
In the digital era, the elderly belong to the group with low frequency of Internet use, and the problem of “digital divide” is constantly emerging. Understanding the Internet behaviors of the elderly under the digital background and analyzing its influencing factors are of positive significance to promote their adaptation and integration into the digital society. Based on the data of China General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2021, this paper analyzed the important factors affecting the use of the Internet in the elderly population by using Logistic regression model and stability test. Research has found that older people who live in urban areas, have higher education levels, rich Internet experience, stronger cognitive ability, and higher personal income are more likely to access the Internet. The research results verify the influence of relevant factors on the use of the Internet by the elderly to a certain extent, which is conducive to helping the elderly better resolve the “digital divide”, actively face the aging population, and realize the symbiotic development of digital technology and the elderly.
