Dear professors and students,
I am a bachelor student of social work, and I am currently doing research on the motivation to use social media by seniors in Slovakia.
At the moment, I am at the beginning of the literature review. I would be very pleased if you have some studies, which aim to investigate the usage of social networks by seniors/older adults, and I could implement them in my paper.
I would be appreciated for any kind of information about this topic.
If you have any questions, you may contact me at: [email protected]
Best regards,
Michal.
Here are some studies that investigate the usage of social media by seniors/older adults, which you may find useful for your literature review:
