INTRODUCTION: The study investigated how technological innovations and Embedded Systems, processes, and Communication tools influence human psychology. The IoTs have succeeded to connect humans with things, and it is now preoccupied with understanding how humans react to these things by influencing our actions, reactions, and behavior. OBJECTIVES: To identify items that IoTs use to influence human psychology in education, healthcare, and business and to find out how IoTs utilize AI, ML, Cloud computing, NLP, ICT tools, and big data technology to overpower human psychology. METHODS: The methods “Behavior-oriented drive and influential function method” and the qualitative-quantitative method were used. The qualitative-quantitative method makes use of 3 research questions while behavior-oriented drive and influential function focus on statistical data. RESULTS: The result indicates the least score of 12 out of 15 grades for all the measurements on a behavior-oriented drive and influential function and above 90% positive respondents for the qualitative-quantitative method. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that the high dependency of humans on IoTs services is the reason for the IoTs influence on our thoughts, actions, and behavior.

“…Non-connection-promoting Internet use, such as obtaining information and entertainment, may satisfy some human desires, such as the need for knowledge and relaxation ( Gardner et al, 2005 ). However, non-connection-promoting Internet use fails to contribute to interpersonal connections and does not fulfill needs for acceptance and belonging, which has negative effects on well-being ( Antunes et al, 2022 ).…”

Internet Use, Social Networks, and Loneliness Among the Older Population in China

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

While the rate of Internet use among the older population in China is rapidly increasing, the outcomes associated with Internet use remain largely unexplored. Currently, there are contradictory findings indicating that Internet use is sometimes positively and sometimes negatively associated with older adults’ subjective well-being. Therefore, we examined the associations between different types of Internet use, social networks, and loneliness among Chinese older adults using data from the Chinese Longitudinal Ageing Society Survey (N = 1863). Internet use was classified as interpersonal communication and information acquisition, and social networks were divided into family and friendship ties. The results showed that both interpersonal communication and information acquisition were associated with lower loneliness. Interpersonal communication can increase social networks, and family ties have a mediating effect on the association between Internet use for interpersonal communication and loneliness. Although information acquisition can directly decrease loneliness in older adults, it can also damage existing social networks and further increase loneliness. Family ties act as a suppressor in the association between Internet use for information acquisition and loneliness. Our study further discusses important implications for improving the subjective well-being of older adults in the digital era, based on the empirical findings.

Smart senior care cognition and health among Chinese elderly: A moderated mediation model featuring parent-child relationship and internet use

2023

In the context of digital transformation, smart senior care (SSC) cognition among elderly individuals has become an important contributor to their health. Using a sample of 345 older adults derived from the cross-sectional data of a questionnaire survey on the application of home-based SSC services and products among elderly individuals, this study explored how the parent‒child relationship mediated the linkage between SSC cognition and elderly health. To examine the moderating role of internet use, we applied the multigroup structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to test whether significant disparities exist between older adults who use the internet and those who do not on the pathways in the mediation model. After controlling for gender, age, hukou (household registration permit), ethnicity, income, marital status, and education level, we found that SSC cognition exerted significant positive effects on elderly health, in which the parent‒child relationship exerted a mediating effect. As for differences between the elderly with internet use and those without, on the three pathways connecting SSC cognition and health, SSC cognition and parent‒child relationship, and parent‒child relationship and health among elderly individuals, older adults who used the internet were more susceptible than those who did not. The findings are helpful for improving the policy-making on elderly health and may serve as a practical guide and theoretical reference for the promotion of active aging.
