摘要
本文以智能手机的使用为切入点,探寻乡村老年女性数字贫困的具体特征和影响因素。通过对冀东新村老年女性手机使用水平的分析,研究发现:乡村老年女性的智能手机使用水平整体不高,存在着不同程度的数字贫困,而影响乡村老年女性智能手机使用的关键因素之一,是她们对是否有用的理解。实用性观念既可以是普通用户接受新技术的动力,同样也可以是乡村老年女性群体采纳智能手机的障碍。实用性表面上是乡村老年女性对智能手机是否有用的认识,实则反映了他们对自身使用价值的评判,以及家庭和社会对老年人角色及其价值的观念投射。因此,重新考虑老年人的价值和需求,重建老年人的个人价值感和自我效能感,当是乡村老年女性数字贫困治理的关键。
This study examined the smartphone use of older women in rural areas and explored the predictors of digital poverty.We conducted participant observations and in-depth interviews among older women in the Xin village of Eastern Hebei Province.We found that the participants’smartphone usage was low and they were digitally poor to a certain degree.In addition,the perceived usefulness was associated with their smartphone usage,which in turn influenced their perceived value of themselves and the group as a whole.Findings of this study suggested that the key to reduce older women’s digital poverty was to increase their perceived personal value and self-efficacy.
