Effects of psychological resilience on social media information-sharing behavior in older adults: mediating role of technology anxiety and perceived enjoyment.

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
Background: Against the backdrop of the rapid development of information technology, accelerated population aging, and the prominent "digital divide" among older adults, the information-sharing behavior of older adults on social media has attracted significant attention. Understanding the mechanism behind their information-sharing on social media is crucial for bridging the digital divide and promoting healthy aging. Methods: This study combines Technology Acceptance Model and Uses and Gratification Theory to construct a theoretical model with psychological resilience as the core, and explores its influence mechanism with technology anxiety, social interaction, perceived enjoyment, and perceived ease of use on the information sharing behavior of older adults. A questionnaire survey was conducted among Chinese older adults aged 55 and above, from which a total of 297 valid responses were collected. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was then used to conduct an empirical analysis. Results: The results show that psychological resilience, social interaction, perceived enjoyment, and perceived ease of use significantly positively affect the information sharing behavior of older adults, while technology anxiety negatively inhibits information sharing and significantly reduces the perceived ease of use of social media of older adults. Psychological resilience directly influences information sharing behavior and indirectly promotes information sharing behavior by reducing technology anxiety, but it has no significant direct correlation with perceived enjoyment. Social interaction indirectly promotes information sharing through the mediation of perceived enjoyment. Discussion: This study not only provides a reference for understanding the information-sharing behavior of older adults, promoting their integration into the digital society, and facilitating the harmonious coexistence of digitalization and aging, but also offers deeper insights into how to support older adults in overcoming digital barriers and improving their quality of life through meaningful online interactions.
