An online survey was conducted with 3,030 ICT users aged 60 and over from Austria, Canada, Israel, Romania, Spain, and the Netherlands. The data analysis indicated that the mean technostress scores in all participating countries were moderate. Factors most frequently associated with higher technostress levels included poor self-rated health, fewer hours of use, a smaller number of devices used, and less frequent online performance of tasks. In the entire sample, higher technostress correlated with retirement, living with a partner, and residing in Canada, whereas living in Austria or Romania was associated with lower stress. However, the factors most strongly connected to technostress were health and use patterns. The findings reveal more similarities than differences among countries. Improving digital literacy may protect retired and unhealthy older adults from the negative impacts of technology use. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
