摘　　要：互联网使用对老年人的社会适应产生重要影响,但关于有何影响及如何影响的研究较少,且多数研究聚焦于互联网技术本身,忽视了作为技术使用主体的老年人的“能动性”。基于中国老年社会追踪调查(CLASS2018)数据,参考相关经典理论,发现相比不使用互联网的老年人,使用互联网的老年人的社会适应水平更高,老年人使用互联网的频率越高,其社会适应水平也越高。此外,在互联网使用对老年人社会适应产生影响的过程中,社会参与发挥着正向中介作用。因此,实现积极老龄化不仅需要鼓励老年人主动触网,促进老年人的数字融入、消除数字鸿沟,还要利用互联网不断增进老年人的社会参与。Internet use has a significant impact on the social adaptation of elderly individuals.However,there is limited academic analysis regarding how and in what ways the internet use affects the social adaptation of the elderly.Additionally,most studies still focus on the internet technology itself,overlooking the “agency” of elderly individuals who are the users of this technology.Based on the data of 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey(CLASS2018) and referring to relevant classical theories,the results show that,compared with the elderly who do not use the internet,the elderly who use the internet have a higher level of social adaptation,and the more frequently the elderly use the Internet,the higher their level of social adaptation is.In addition,social participation plays a positive mediating role in the influence of internet use on the social adaptation of the elderly.Therefore,achieving active aging not only requires encouraging the elderly to actively use the internet,promoting their digital integration,and eliminating the “digital divide”.At the same time,it is necessary to use the internet to continuously increase the social participation of the elderly.
