Recognized moderation effect of time
• Learned behavioural models are stable and they influence remarkably to the ICT usage experience in later life.
• Ease of use has a constant influence on behavior control over time.
• Physical restrictions has significantly lower influence on perceived ease of use in the recent research.
• The present interface designs are more usable for aging users.
The study analyses changes in the
attitudes of aging people towards
technology in a population
between two periods of time.
The general attitudes and skills
related to basic computer use
were selected as the focus of the
research to measure technology
perceptions as trait-like
phenomena. With emphasis on
the perceived behavioral control
of computers, the study analyses
how perceived physical
restrictions, computer anxiety
and ease of use influence the
perceptions of control.
The study provides a comparative
study in a population over an
eight-year period. The study
examines older consumers (aged
60–79) in two cross-sectional
studies conducted through mail
surveys in 2004 and 2012 using
randomized samples (N=1,000 in
2004 and N=3,000 in 2012).
• Behavioural control of computers has
improved over time.
• The computer-use capability is related
with learned behaviour.
• Effects of memory disorders can be
alleviated in future.
• The general attitudes are constant trait-
like factors that vary slowly
• No differences between the time points.
• Physical restrictions to computer
usage slightly decreased in the
population over the study period.

CONTROL
• Ease of use of computers has
improved over time
• Influences of computer anxiety and
physical restrictions, are primarily
mediated through ease of use.
