社会公众信息焦虑代际差异及其消减策略探究——基于图书馆视角

Research on the Generational Differences of the Public Information Anxiety and its Reduction Strategies——Based on the Library Perspective

基于问卷调查,运用因子分析、方差分析与结构方程等统计方法检验年龄及相关中介变量对信息焦虑的作用路径。研究发现,人们的信息焦虑程度随着年龄的增长而不断加剧,61岁以上的老年群体最为严重;代际差异对信息焦虑存在显著的直接影响,并通过教育程度、ICT能力与图书馆利用频率3个中介变量产生显著的间接影响。基于此,从图书馆视角提出消减老年群体信息焦虑的策略。

Based on the questionnaire survey,this paper uses factor analysis,variance analysis and structural equation models to test the role of age and related intermediary variables on information anxiety.Results indicate that the information anxiety increases with age,especially in the elderly over 61 years old,generational differences have a significant direct impact on information anxiety,and have a significant indirect impact through three intermediary variables:education,ICT abilities and library utilization frequency.Based on this,the paper puts forward some suggestions on reducing the information anxiety of the elderly people from the perspective of library.
