Starejši so bili v svojem življenju priča velikim spremembam in napredku, pri čemer je prav razvoj informacijsko komunikacijskih tehnologij (IKT) njihova življenja v zadnjem času najbolj izoblikoval, ker jim je ponudila priložnost za večjo socialno vključenost. Z napredkom IKT povezujemo tudi množično uporabo pametnih telefonov, ki pa jih starejši ne sprejemajo najbolje, saj jim je omenjena tehnologija praviloma precej tuja. Na podlagi pregleda literature iz področja modelov sprejemanja tehnologij TAM (angl. Technology Acceptance Model) in empirične raziskave je namen diplomskega dela ugotoviti, kakšen vpliv ima strah pred tehnologijo na sprejemanje pametnih telefonov med starejšimi. Z regresijsko analizo podatkov, ki so bili pridobljeni s pomočjo reprezentativne telefonske ankete na Centru za družboslovno informatiko Fakultete za družbene vede leta 2015, sem prišel do ugotovitve, da strah pred tehnologijo nima statistično značilnega vpliva na sprejemanje pametnih telefonov med starejšimi neuporabniki, ima pa vpliv na nadaljnjo uporabo pametnih telefonov pri starejših uporabnikih pametnega telefona. Pokazalo pa se je, da na sprejemanje pametnih telefonov med starejšimi neuporabniki pametnih telefonov vplivata izobrazba in starost, medtem ko pri uporabnikih pametnih telefonov nimata statistično značilnega vpliva.

• Title: Influence of technological anxiety on the adoption of smartphone among elderly

Abstract

The elderly have witnessed great changes and developments in their lives, but the development of information communication technologies (ICTs) has had the strongest impact on their life in recent time. With the development of ICTs, smartphones have also developed and changed. The elderly have the biggest problems adopting this new technology as they are not familiar with it. Based on a review of the literature on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and empirical research, the purpose of this thesis is to determine the impact of technological anxiety on the acceptance of smartphones among the elderly. The results of linear regression analysis run on data obtained through a representative telephone survey, carried out by the Centre for Social informatics in 2015, show that technological anxiety has no statistically significant effect on the acceptance of smartphones among the elderly who are not using smartphones, but it has an effect among the elderly who are using smartphones. However, it has been found that both educational attainment and chronological age have a statistically significant influence on the acceptance of smartphones among the elderly who are not using smartphones. On the other hand, educational attainment and chronological age had no statistically significant influence among the elderly who are using smartphones in Slovenia.
