Experiencing Computer Anxiety Later in Life: The Role of Stereotype Threat

Abstract: In the current paper we use semi-structured interviews (N = 12) to reveal instances which trigger age-based stereotype threat and subsequent computer anxiety for older individuals, and potential impact on their technological self-efficacy. The results show that situation-specific anxiety arises in situations when older people were faced with children or younger adults who presented higher ICT skills. We argue that when the situation is "powerful enough" to increase older people's awareness of the negative ster… Show more

“…Dois aspectos chamam atenção nas pesquisas analisadas: os emocionais e os relacionais (ligados à relação do idoso com a sociedade), por serem frequentemente abordados como aqueles que afetam o uso da tecnologia. Muitas pesquisas, especialmente na área de HCI 2 , mediram aspectos emocionais como solidão, ansiedade, depressão, sentimento de obsolescência, a fim de entender de que forma a tecnologia poderia ser útil para aliviar alguns sentimentos prejudiciais ao idoso ou identificar se a própria interação com produtos de TIC despertava tais emoções (DOH et al, 2015;IVAN;SCHIAU, 2016;KASPAR, 2004;MITZNER et al, 2019).…”

“…One reason may be that the actualized functions of emotional affordance are less complex than those of functional affordance. For example, irrespective of living arrangements, the elderly always need communication affordance from smartphones ( 63 , 111 113 ). Moreover, on the one hand, the social needs of the elderly may be diluted by family happiness.…”

“…First, there is a need for more research to examine the role of computers and technology in contributing to stereotype threat for OAs. Semi-structured interviews show that computers can be a trigger of age-based stereotype threat and have a negative impact on OAs technology self-efficacy (Ivan & Schiau, 2016). It is also possible that stereotype threat elicited by technology may impair the efficacy of OAs' informational search online (Noeltner, Kroenung, & Kuhlmann, 2019), and also negatively impact their ability to use technology for communication, banking, or business needs.…”
