Abstract:
Use of information and communication technology for enjoyment, often identified as digital leisure, provides older adults with opportunities to experience leisure in innovative ways. Although perceived active-constructive responses from others within the context of digital leisure may be beneficial in later life, it remains unclear how perceived active-constructive responses during digital leisure can help older adults experience psychological well-being (PWB). To address this research gap, we examined a moderation model with active-constructive responses and gratitude to predict PWB. We collected data from 315 older adults engaging in digital leisure, and analyzed these data using multiple regression. Results indicated that perceived active-constructive responses and gratitude correlated positively with PWB. In addition, perceived active-constructive responses interacted with gratitude. We discuss implications of these findings associated with PWB for older adults as they experience active-constructive responses from others and gratitude during digital leisure.
