- PublikationDaily TV Use and Meaning in Life Among Older Adults. The Moderating Role of Selective and Compensatory TV Use(Routledge, 07.12.2022) Hofer, Matthias; Birrer, Alena; Eden, Allison; Seifert, Alexander [in: Mass Communication and Society]Older adults (60+) spend a considerable amount of time watching TV. This can have important implications in terms of their daily sense of meaning in their life. Applying the selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) model, we argue that the impact of the daily amount of time spent watching TV on daily perceptions of meaning in life is moderated by whether TV is generally used in a compensatory or selective manner. We present data from an intensive longitudinal study with N = 101 healthy older (60+) adults. Data were collected over five consecutive days. Compensatory and selective TV use were treated as a general strategy and thus as a trait-like variable measured in a baseline survey. Results show that the effect of the amount of daily television use on daily perceptions of meaning in life depends on the extent to which TV is generally used in a compensatory fashion as indicated by a cross-level interaction between compensatory TV use (between-person level 2) and daily self-reported TV use (within-person level 1) on daily perceptions of meaning in life. We discuss these findings in terms of both theoretical and methodological considerations.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationDigitally Savvy at the Home Office. Computer Skills of Older Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic Across Europe(Frontiers, 26.04.2022) König, Ronny; Seifert, Alexander [in: Frontiers in Sociology]Digital skills can be a valuable resource in work life, especially in such times as the current COVID-19 pandemic, during which working from home has become new reality. Although increasing numbers of older employees (aged 50 years and above) are using digital technologies to work remotely, many of these older adults still have generally lower digital skills. Whether the pandemic will be a push factor for the acquisition of computer skills in late working life remains unclear. This study investigated the explanatory factors of the computer skills gained by older workers who were working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, using representative data for 28 countries from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The analysis of the survey responses of 11,042 employed persons aged 50 years and older revealed that, 13% worked only at home due to the pandemic, while 15% said they worked at home and in their usual workplace. The descriptives indicate that full-time homeworking is more of an option among those with tertiary education and who already have some computer skills. Of the older employees who worked only at home, 36% reported an improvement in their computer skills, whereas of the older workers who worked at home and at their usual workplaces, only 29% reported such an improvement. Our results based on logistic regressions suggest that significantly more women, younger employees, respondents with tertiary educational qualifications, and those whose work was not affected by unemployment or even business closure acquired new computer skills, regardless of whether they were working permanently or only partly from home. The study underlines the importance of investigating the possible digital skills gained from the home office situation resulting from the pandemic.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationDigital transformation of everyday lives of older Swiss adults. Use of and attitudes toward current and future digital services(Springer, 11.01.2022) Seifert, Alexander; Charness, Neil [in: European Journal of Ageing]Digital (consumer) services, such as ticket machines, self-checkout, and online reservations, have become increasingly important in modern society. Studies on adoption of these services and openness to using future public digital services (e.g., online voting, online taxes, electronic patient records) have mostly focused on younger adults or nonrepresentative samples among older adults. Therefore, two important questions remain that can best be addressed with representative sampling: To what extent do older adults use or are willing to use current and future digital services in their everyday lives? How do older adults evaluate the ease of use of these services?. The study included data on use of current and future digital services among a large Swiss sample of 1149 people age 65 years and older (mean age: 74.1 years, SD: 6.69). Descriptive and multivariate analyses showed that (a) established services such as cash machines were used more often than new services, such as self-checkout apps or machines. (b) Perceived ease of use is related to age, socioeconomic status, health, and interest in technology. (c) Only 8.9% had an overall positive attitude toward these digital services, and this attitude was predicted by age, gender, socioeconomic status, and interest in technology. (d) Participants were more often open to filing taxes online than voting online, and openness was predicted by age, income, and interest in technology. Today, mainly older adults with a high interest in technology use digital services. Nevertheless, potential for greater use is evident.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift

Zudem werden die idealtypischen Ablaufschritte und möglichen Stolpersteine einer solchen Methode besprochen. Die Methode, die neu ist für die soziale Arbeit, enthält Datafizierungspotenzial, das hier aufgezeigt werden soll.04A - Beitrag Sammelband
- PublikationSocial media use and well-being among older adults(Elsevier, 2022) Cotten, Shelia; Schuster, Amy M.; Seifert, Alexander [in: Current Opinion in Psychology]While older adults (aged 65 years and older) are increasingly using social media, their usage rates still lag those of younger age groups. Social media use has been observed to have some positive effects on older adults’ well-being; however, divergent findings exist depending upon the sample, measures, and methodological approach. This review highlights what is currently known about social media use and well-being among older adults, identifies strengths and weaknesses of current research on this topic, and argues that methodological and content-related research gaps must be closed before researchers can confirm a positive overall effect of social media use in everyday situations for older adults.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift

- PublikationIKT-Nutzung im Kontext von Gesundheit und Fitness im Alter(Springer, 2022) Seifert, Alexander; Schelling, Hans Rudol; Ring-Dimitriou, Susanne; Dimitriou, Minas [in: Aktives Altern im digitalen Zeitalter]Fitness- und Gesundheitswerte werden heute meist digital mit Wearables und Apps gemessen. Es gibt jedoch kaum Studien, welche die alltägliche Nutzung dieser Selbstvermessungstechnologien bei älteren Personen empirisch erforschen. Der vorliegende Bericht untersucht diese Nutzung anhand von Ergebnissen aus einer repräsentativen Schweizer Bevölkerungsbefragung, bei der 1149 Personen ab 65 Jahren befragt wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Wearables und Gesundheits-Apps noch eher selten von älteren Personen genutzt werden; dennoch sind hier Nutzungspotenziale erkennbar.04A - Beitrag Sammelband
