摘　　要：随着互联网等信息通信技术(Information Communications Technology,简称ICT)的飞速发展和在日常生活中的广泛应用,ICT使用对个体生活质量的影响越来越受到学界关注。以往研究表明,ICT使用对个体生活质量有重要影响,但研究结论上尚具有矛盾性。同时,以往研究较少基于中国社会文化背景分析ICT使用对中国老年人生活质量的影响,也缺乏对其内在作用机理的分析。基于2019年中国社会状况综合调查数据(Chinese Social Survey,CSS),通过使用多元线性回归模型(OLS)分析ICT使用对中国老年人生活质量的影响,通过使用倾向值得分匹配法(PSM)检验ICT使用对生活质量影响结果的稳健性,通过使用中介效应分析方法检验社会互动在ICT使用与生活质量之间的中介作用。研究发现,ICT使用能显著提高中国老年人生活质量,且社会互动中介了ICT使用对中国老年人生活质量的影响。研究结果表明,ICT使用对中国老年人生活质量有积极的促进作用,不仅能直接提升中国老年人生活质量,而且通过社会互动间接提高中国老年人生活质量。研究结果启示,在中国互联网等ICT快速发展和广泛应用的现实背景下,政府、社区、企业和家庭应积极为老年人便捷使用ICT设备、积极融入互联网社会创造条件,进而增加中国老年人的社会互动机会,提高老年人生活质量,助力中国老年人健康老龄化。With the rapid development of Information Communications Technology(ICT)such as the Internet and its extensive application in daily life,the influence of ICT use on the quality of individual life has attracted more attention.Previous studies have shown that ICT use has an important impact on individual life quality,but the conclusions are still contradictory.At the same time,previous studies rarely analyzed the impact of ICT use on the quality of life of the older people in Chinese sociocultural background,let alone the analysis of its internal influence mechanism.Based on the Chinese Social Survey in 2019(CSS 2019),by using multiple linear regression models(OLS),the article analyses the effects of ICT use on the quality of life of older adults,and by using the method of propensity score matching(PSM),the article verifies the robustness of the association of ICT use and the quality life of Chinese older people.In particular,the article explores the mediating effects of social interaction between ICT use and the quality of life.The research indicates that ICT use may help older people participate in many social interactions,and in turn contributes to the improvement of their qualities of life.The article reveals that the government,communities,enterprises and families should do something for the convenient use of ICT equipment for the older people and help them to integrate into the internet and digital society.Thus,ICT use can offer more social interaction opportunities for the older adults,which in turn improve the quality of life,and realize active and healthy aging of the older people.
