Effects of social media use on e-health literacy and quality of life among older adults in Taiwan
Beyond the anxiety-physical activity link: Family relationships and personality as moderators of daily activity responses to anxiety in older adults
While anxiety is negatively associated with physical activity in older adults, substantial individual variability exists in this relationship. This study examined whether family–based factors (perceived security in attachment to adult children and intergenerational educational mobility) and personality traits (neuroticism and extraversion) moderate the within–person anxiety–physical activity relationship. Using experience sampling methodology, 37…
A 24-week physical activity program implemented in long-term care facilities during Covid-19: Effects on functional fitness in older adults over 70
Healthy aging emphasizes the maintenance of optimal physical functioning. As older adults age, they may experience muscle loss and decline in physical abilities, which can lead to a greater need for long-term care services. This loss of independence may result in reduced opportunities for social engagement, including learning and participation in various programs. Therefore, this study aims to implement a long-term physical activity program and i…
Facilitators and barrier factors predicting the use of mobile payments by middle-aged and older adults: Social influence as the role of precursor
This study aims to investigate both facilitators and barriers to mobile payment adoption among middle-aged and older adults using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework. This study is distinctive in that we especially highlight the factor of social influence as the precursor in terms of targeting older adults. Also, for the contradictory characteristics when middle-aged and older adults using mobile payments, the current…
Promote Middle-Aged and Older Adults’ Blood Donation Intention with Concepts of Social Marketing and Theory of Planned Behavior: A Cross-Sectional Survey
As the global population ages, addressing blood donation among middle-aged and older adults is increasingly vital for societal and medical systems. Past research has examined the effectiveness of social marketing campaigns in promoting blood donation. This study aims to determine if social marketing can enhance continuous blood donation intentions in this demographic. The study surveyed 440 participants (aged 40–65; 51.25% female) regarding attit…
Human–pet interaction and well-being in mid-to-later adulthood: Moderating roles of neuroticism and anxious attachment
The findings highlight the role of psychological traits in shaping the well-being effects of pet interaction. While increased interaction supports well-being in those with low anxious attachment, it may be detrimental for individuals with high anxious attachment. These results underscore the need to consider psychological differences when evaluating the benefits of pet companionship

Using a qualitative descriptive design with thematic content analysis, structured open-ended questionnaires were distributed to 146 students from 3 health-related departments at a college in Taiwan. Thematic content analysis was conducted based on a pre-defined coding fr…

Are health claims in aging-related functional food packages different from those of general functional foods? Content analysis of food packaging from Taiwan
Given the challenges of aging populations, both in Taiwan and globally, issues related to older consumers need more attention. According to surveys in Taiwan, food is one of the most important consumer products for older adults. In recent years, functional foods have become popular, often using health claims as a promotional tool. Therefore, this study has investigated food product packaging in common retail channels in Taiwan by conducting a con…
The relationship between social media usage and loneliness among younger and older adults: The moderating effect of shyness
Does social media alleviate or exacerbate loneliness? Past research has shown mixed results regarding the relationship between social media usage and loneliness among younger and older adults. Unlike younger individuals, older adults may decrease their loneliness through social media interactions. Additionally, previous research has indicated that the link between social media use and loneliness can vary depending on one's shy tendency. Therefore…
Effects of participating in face-to-face and online intergenerational learning on flow state: A conditional growth model approach
Research has begun to pay more attention to intergenerational learning and its advantages, while what is the flow state of students of different generations when they participate in intergenerational learning? This study simultaneously measured the flow state of 16 college students (M = 23.13, SD = 1.82, ranging from 21 to 27 years old; 23.08% male) and 42 older adults (M = 68.61, SD = 9.23, ranging from 55 to 92 years old; 33.33% male) in Taiwan…
A health promotion program for older adults (Kaban!): Effects on health literacy, quality of life, and emotions
The importance of an integrated health promotion program has been proposed in recent years. However, the traditional program with lectures might decrease the effectiveness of learning. A game-based learning program provides a supportive social environment and further increases the quality of life and positive emotions. The present study evaluates the effectiveness of the proposed game-based health promotion program, KABAN!, to enhance health lite…
From the Ground Up
Self-employment is an important component of many development strategies aiming to enhance earnings and employment among low-income populations. However, women tend to earn less than men through self-employment, calling into question the effectiveness of self-employment as a tool for bolstering women's earnings. In this paper, we identify a novel intervention that boosts women's returns from self-employment and narrows the gender earnings gap in …
Social Influence Given (Partially) Deliberate Matching: Career Imprints in the Creation of Academic Entrepreneurs
Actors and associates often match on a few dimensions that matter most for the relationship at hand. In so doing, they are exposed to unanticipated social influences because counterparts have broader attitudes and preferences than would-be contacts considered when they first chose to pair. The authors label as “partially deliberate” social matching that occurs on a small set of attributes, and they present empirical methods for identifying causal…
Pulling Closer and Moving Apart: Interaction, Identity, and Influence in the U.S. Senate, 1973 to 2009
This article reconciles two seemingly incompatible expectations about interpersonal interaction and social influence. One theoretical perspective predicts that an increase in interaction between two actors will promote subsequent convergence in their attitudes and behaviors, whereas another view anticipates divergence. We examine the role of political identity in moderating the effects of interaction on influence. Our investigation takes place in…
