Abstract

In order to meet the technological needs of older adults, and ensure digital inclusion, it is important for digital technology designers to accurately assess and understand older adults’ needs and requirements, free from the influence of societal assumptions of their capabilities. This study evaluated the impact of an intergenerational digital technology education programme on younger adults’ stereotypes of older people. Using an experimental design, results show that compared to a control group, students taking part in the programme subsequently rated older adults as more friendly but less competent. Practical implications for developing intergenerational education programmes are discussed.

Participants’ age, gender and prior contact with older adults was also measured and analysed. The results showed that these variables had no relation to participants’ stereotypes of older adults and therefore could not be responsible for effects on the outcome of the programme.
