Impact of digital literacy on aging attitudes of the elderly from the perspective of social cognitive theory.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUnder the background of digital economy, increasing awareness of active ageing through digital literacy is a realistic requirement to deal with deep aging. However, the lack of digital literacy and skills of the elderly seriously affects the ways and means of their participation in the digital society, and then produces negative aging attitudes such as loneliness, isolation and uselessness.
methodsWe adopt stratified sampling to conduct a comprehensive social survey on the elderly care status of the elderly in six provinces including Henan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Jiangsu and Shandong in July 2023, and use Ordinal Logistic Regression method to analysis the impact of digital literacy on aging attitudes.
resultsThe study finds that the improvement of digital literacy can significantly inhibit the aging attitude of the elderly. Further, mechanism analysis finds that the improvement of digital literacy has empowerment effect and energizing effect. In addition, compared with the urban, high-income and low-age elderly groups, the aging attitudes of rural, low-income and high-age elderly groups are relatively less dependent on digital literacy.
conclusionsThe improvement of digital literacy can significantly inhibit the aging attitude of the elderly, so the government should optimize the balance and accessibility of digital resources and eliminate digital inequality among the elderly.
