Research On The Relationship Between Internet Continuous Usage Behaviors And Subjective Well-being Of Old People

With the rapid development of information technology and the Internet,the society with the characteristics of the information age is quietly approaching,constantly affecting people's life,work and social development.As the main medium of information dissemination,the Internet has gradually integrated into the aging population,gradually changing their daily lives,learning and working methods,and becoming an indispensable part of their lives.However,judging from the current status of Internet use in China,there are many different kinds of Internet information resources,and there are a lot of inductive and bad information.Due to the special characteristics of the elderly group,they do not have a strong ability to discern information,making them willing to use the Internet.In addition,the improvement of the economic level has improved the physical conditions and physical health of the elderly,but the subjective well-being of the elderly has not received widespread attention.Therefore,in the Internet environment,the influencing factors of the elderly's continuous Internet use and the impact of the Internet continuous usage behaviors on subjective well-being are the issues explored in this dissertation.Taking the old people as the research object,this dissertation expands the expectation-confirmation theory,technology acceptance model,habit theory,social support theory and trust theory,and establishes two structural equation models: the influence mechanism of the elderly's Internet continuous usage behaviors and the influence of Internet continuous usage behaviors on subjective well-being.Based on the established structural equation model,this dissertation designed a questionnaire according to strict specifications and procedures and and carried out a questionnaire survey on the old people.A total of 310 questionnaires were collected,among which 258 were valid.In addition,descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on the collected data samples using SPSS22.0,and reliability and validity tests were conducted using Smart PLS2.0.The experimental results show that the degree of expectation confirmation and perceived usefulness of Internet use among the elderly positively affected their satisfaction,and older people with higher satisfaction also have higher willingness to continue using the Internet.Elderly people who have a higher willingness to use the Internet are more likely to have Internet continuous usage behaviors.Habits play a negative regulating role in the relationship between Internet continuous usage intentionand Internet continuous usage behaviors.The elderly's Internet continuous usage behaviors can improve self-efficacy,perceive more social support and become more trusted in the Internet,reduce loneliness in the elderly's life,and further improve the subjective well-being of the elderly.Among the social support,older people are more dependent on family support.Finally,based on the research results,this dissertation puts forward some suggestions to improve the coverage of Internet use in the elderly population.
