Abstract

Starejši odrasli ostajajo kljub hitremu širjenju uporabe digitalnih tehnologij največja skupina neuporabnikov interneta. Van Dijkova (2020) teorija virov in prisvojitve trdi, da do digitalnih neenakosti prihaja zaradi različnih osebnih značilnosti in socialnih položajev posameznikov, kar vodi v različne porazdelitve socialnega kapitala, ekonomskih in kulturnih virov. Zato posamezniki na različne načine dostopajo do interneta in dosegajo različno stopnjo socialne vključenosti. Digitalne neenakosti ne vključujejo le samostojne uporabe interneta, temveč tudi posredne rabe, ki so zlasti razširjene med starejšimi neuporabniki interneta. Ti dostopajo do interneta s pomočjo internetnih posrednikov, ko jih prosijo, da opravijo določene aktivnosti na internetu namesto njih. V magistrskem delu nas je zanimalo, kakšne so razlike v vplivu kategoričnih neenakosti (npr. spol, starost, izobrazba) in socialnega kapitala na uporabo interneta ter na dostop in aktivacijo uporabe interneta prek posrednikov. V empirični analizi s pomočjo multivariatne logistične regresije analiziramo anketne podatke, ki so jih zbrali na Centru za družboslovno informatiko Fakultete za družbene vede in se nanašajo na uporabo in posredno uporabo interneta med starejšimi odraslimi v Sloveniji. Rezultati kažejo, da je vpliv kategoričnih neenakosti in socialnega kapitala najbolj pomemben pri uporabi interneta. Čeprav se pri dostopnosti uporabe interneta prek posrednikov vpliv kategoričnih neenakosti zmanjša, socialni kapital ostaja pomemben. Pri aktivaciji uporabe interneta prek posrednikov pa se kažejo kot ključne kategorične neenakosti, ki so povezane z izobrazbo, krajem bivanja, zakonskim stanom in dohodkom gospodinjstva.

Secondary title: Factors of internet non-use and proxy internet use among older adults in Slovenia
Secondary abstract: Despite the rapid growth of people who use digital technologies older adults remain the largest group of internet nonusers. Van Dijk’s (2020) resource and appropriation theory claims that digital inequalities stem from different personal characteristics and positions of individuals, which lead to different distribution of social capital, economic and cultural resources. Thus, individuals access the internet in different ways and achieve different levels of social inclusion. Digital inequalities are determined not only by self-reliant internet uses, but also by use-by-proxy which is quite common among older internet nonusers. They access the Internet with the help of proxy users, asking them to perform certain activities on the Internet on their behalf. The aim of this master’s thesis was to assess potential differences in the effects of categorical inequalities (i.e., gender, age, education) and social capital on the self-reliant internet use as well as on the availability and activation of use-by-proxy among older adults. In the empirical study, we used multiple logistic regressions on survey data collected by the Centre for Social Informatics at the Faculty of Social Sciences that referred to a block of questions on internet use and use-by-proxy among older adults in Slovenia. The results show that categorical inequalities and social capital have a very important effect on self-reliant internet use. Although categorical inequalities are less important predictors of the availability of use-by-proxy, social capital remains important. The key categorical inequalities of use-by-proxy activation are related to education, area of residence, marital status, and household income.
