Can the internet reduce the loneliness of 50+ living alone?LonelinessLiving aloneInternet50+ individualsEuropeCiências Sociais::SociologiaSocial SciencesPublished online: 12 May 2020Living alone has been indicated as a key variable to explain loneliness in older adults. In contemporary society, where technology has become one of the main means of communication and personal interaction, has the internet influenced the relationship between living alone and loneliness? This paper aims to answer this research question by using a sample of 64,297 individuals who were surveyed in SHARE project wave 6 – in European countries with different welfare regimes (Portugal, Greece, Italy and Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Luxemburg, Poland, Czech Republic; Slovenia, Estonia, and Croatia). The results of the regression analysis evidence the moderating role of the internet on the relationship between living alone and feelings of loneliness in individuals aged 50 and over, so that the impact of living alone on loneliness is diminished for internet users as compared to their peers who do not use the internet. The results therefore reinforce the importance of policies aimed at fostering e-inclusion as a way of reducing the loneliness of older adultsThis work was supported by European Commission; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia; U.S National Institute on Aging; Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian; German Ministry of Education and ResearchRoutledgeUniversidade do MinhoSilva, Patrícia Maria TeixeiraDelerue Matos, AliceMartinez-Pecino, Roberto202210000-01-01T00:00:00Z2022-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/1822/65457engPatrícia Silva, Alice Delerue Matos & Roberto Martinez-Pecino (2022) Can the internet reduce the loneliness of 50+ living alone?, Information, Communication & Society, 25:1, 17-33, DOI: 10.1080/1369118X.2020.17609171369-118X1468-446210.1080/1369118X.2020.1760917https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2020.1760917info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-21T11:57:08Zoai:repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt:1822/65457Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:46:48.236253Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
