Internet y apoyo social: sociabilidad online y ajuste psicosocial en la sociedad de la información [Internet and social support: Online sociability a…

2010

Social support from intimate and confidant relationships has been traditionally linked to a better psychological well-being. With the arrival of Internet, however, other forms of social rela tionship demand our attention. In the present article, we pay attention to online social rela tionshisps as potential sources of social support, specifically for those potentially impaired in the face-to-face interaction and, thus, at risk of so cial exclusion. In this sense, recent research sug gests that online social relationships could be parallel online social relationships in terms of the benefits derived from social support (whether online or offline).

Propiedad Intelectual en Internet: los retos de su tutela judicial

2017

Bajo el título “Propiedad Intelectual en Internet. Los retos de su tutela judicial”, el objetivo de la presente tesis doctoral es analizar si, en el estado actual, nuestro ordenamiento jurídico ofrece mecanismos de tutela suficientes y adecuados para proteger los derechos de propiedad intelectual frente a las infracciones cometidas en Internet. Este trabajo de investigación toma como punto de partida la hipótesis de que, el Derecho nacional, junto al Derecho de la Unión Europea, han configurado en los últimos años un sistema que permite obtener la protección de los derechos de propiedad intelectual ante los tribunales españoles; ahora bien, la eficiencia de esta tutela se plantea como un re…

Digital participation in service environments among senior electricity consumers in Finland

2018

Research to date suggests that older adults engage with digital technologies less frequently than young adults. Studies typically focus on chronological age, ignoring the effects of life course factors on the adoption and use of digital technologies. By utilising multiple triangulation, the article investigates the role of age and life course stage in the usage of an electricity company's online services among senior consumers. The data are derived from an internet-based survey study (N = 1366) and six focus group discussions involving Finnish electricity consumers (N = 29). The results suggest that online consumers aged 50 and over utilise electricity company online services more frequentl…

Heterogeneity of traditional and digital media use among older adults: A six-country comparison

2021

Abstract The concept of aged heterogeneity has been associated with older adults' ability to adapt to the digital age without a systematic empirical analysis. We analyse retired adults' (aged 62 or more) use of traditional media and their digital equivalents in six countries. First, we ask whether heterogeneity in traditional and digital media use increases with age. Second, we study to what extent gender is related to this heterogeneity, and third, the country differences in the heterogeneity of media use in later life. We analyse the 2018 data (N = 5865) of the ‘Older audiences in the digital media environment’ survey using zero-inflated negative binomial models. The results provide parti…

The interplay between media-for-monitoring and media-for-searching: How news media trigger searches and edits in Wikipedia

2016

This study investigates how traditional news media and Internet services have become entangled in recipients’ habits of gathering information on current topics. Push media enable citizens to scan the issue environment while pull media enable them to seek out in-depth information if information needs have been elicited. Furthermore, content quality in many pull media may increase when more users generate content, removing flaws and adding information. We expected that TV and newspaper coverage of an issue will lead to increases in (a) searches for and (b) user edits in related articles in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Our findings reliably support the hypotheses, but the extent to whic…

Can ‘Openness-to-change’ and ‘Conservation’ Values Predict the Diffusion of the Internet into European Homes?

2019

Abstract This study investigated whether openness-to-change values (self-direction and stimulation) and conservation values (security and tradition) could predict the diffusion of the internet into homes by 2014, at the level of 159 European regions. All four value scales were correlated with the diffusion of the internet, after controlling for regional wealth and population density. Self-direction was by far the most consistent predictor of the diffusion of internet connections; a combination of self-direction and stimulation values could predict home internet use better than other combinations of human values. A longitudinal analysis, at the level of 25 countries, investigated the possibi…
