Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship of information literacy, life satisfaction, and life happiness of the silver generation, and to suggest the direction for their happy life. We conducted a questionnaire survey targeted at the Internet users of over 60 years old adults living in Daegu/Gyongbuk areas. Data were analyzed using 238 valid samples. With the results, it revealed that the silver generations' life satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between their information literacy and their life happiness. Future studies are also discussed in this paper.

본 연구의 목적은 실버세대의 정보 활용능력, 생활 만족도, 그리고 삶의 행복감 간의 인과 관계를 밝히고, 아울러 고령화와 정보화 시대에서 실버세대가 행복한 삶을 영위할 수 있는 방향을 제시하는데 있다. 이를 위해 대구 경북지역의 인터넷 정보활동을 하고 있는 노인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 후 238개의 유효표본을 분석하였다. 실버세대의 정보 활용능력과 삶의 행복감의 관계 및 생활만족도의 매개효과를 분석한 결과, 생활만족도가 정보 활용능력과 삶의 행복감 관계를 완전 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 향후 연구에 고려되어야 하는 시사점들에 대해 논의하였다.
