“…Indeed, stemming from a nonprobabilistic sampling approach, the characteristics of the participants who voluntarily engaged in the study may also influence the variables of interest [ 119 , 120 ]. For instance, participants’ income could influence their willingness to participate in surveys [ 121 ], their resource losses and gains, and their internet use [ 122 ]. Consequently, the sampling strategy used (ie, snowball volunteer sampling) likely did not capture older individuals marked by resource losses and sociodemographic characteristics (eg, isolation and low socioeconomic status) that are particularly stressful.…”

“…Notably, the lack of statistical significance concerning the impact of internet use on stress in young adults, a group extensively engaged with the internet, might potentially be attributed to the distinct "youthful" internet usage styles, as proposed by Boullier [94]. Indeed, the presence of measurement errors, such as those arising from questionnaire elaboration, can introduce challenges such as ceiling and floor effects [119][120][121][122][123][124], impeding the identification of statistically significant differences between groups [125]. Moreover, future studies should develop measures to better capture interindividual differences in internet use in younger individuals, in order to further investigate the multifaceted relationship between internet use and different age groups.…”

Background: Internet use has dramatically increased worldwide, with over two-thirds of the world's population using it, including the elderly population. Technical resources, such as internet use, has been shown to influence psychological variables, such as stress. Furthermore, according to Hobfoll's COR theory, stress perception largely depends on individual's personal resources and their changes. While personal resources loss and stress are negatively associated, we ignore the role that technical resources plays on the relationship between personal resources and stress.Objective: This study aims at investigating the moderating role of technical resources (internet use) on the relationship between personal resources and stress, in young and older adults.Methods: A total of 275 young adults (18 to 30 years) and 224 older adults (65 years or older) indicated their levels of stress, change in personal resources (i.e., cognitive, social, and self-efficacy resources loss and gain), and internet use. Variance analyses, multiple regression, and moderation analyses were performed to investigate the correlates of stress.Results: Results showed that older adults, despite experiencing high levels of resource loss and less resource gain, were less stressed than younger adults. We observed that the relationship between resource loss, resource gain, and stress in older adults was moderated by their level of internet use. Specifically, older adults who used internet more frequently were less stressed when they experienced both high levels of loss and gain, compared to their counterparts who used less internet in the same conditions. Furthermore, older adults with low resource gain and high resource loss expressed less stress when they used more internet compared to those who had low internet use.Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of internet use in mitigating stress among older adults experiencing resource loss and gain, emphasizing the potential of digital interventions to promote mental health in this population.

“…Ces différences intra-générationnelles découleraient des inégalités de genre et sociales dans l'accès à la scolarité et au marché du travail, étant des environnements primordiaux de socialisation à l'utilisation des TIC [16,32]. Par exemple, en Suisse, lorsque 73.7% des hommes âgés de 60 ans et plus utilisent internet, seulement 67.1% des femmes du même âge s'en servent [35].…”

“…Par exemple, en Suisse, lorsque 73.7% des hommes âgés de 60 ans et plus utilisent internet, seulement 67.1% des femmes du même âge s'en servent [35]. Ainsi, ces différences pourraient impliquer une reproduction d'inégalités, en raison du soutien qu'internet fournit pour le bien-être [16,38]. En effet, l'impératif numérique se retrouve dans les tâches de la vie quotidienne des seniors.…”

Cette étude s'intéresse au rôle des technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC), en particulier internet, pour le bien-être des personnes âgées en Suisse Romande. En explorant les expériences de six utilisateur·ice·s âgé·e·s d'internet, l'étude met en évidence les bénéfices et les risques associés à son utilisation. Les résultats soulignent l'importance de l'accompagnement et de la formation pour favoriser l'utilisation des TIC par les personnes âgées, en prenant en compte leurs besoins et leurs préoccupations spécifiques. Les participant·e·s ont également souligné l'importance de maintenir les contacts humains tout en utilisant internet. Ces résultats suggèrent que les TIC peuvent être une ressource précieuse pour le bien-être des personnes âgées, mais nécessitent une approche adaptée à leur style d'usage et à leurs besoins individuels.
