Papel de perfiles psicológicos, experiencias vitales, prácticas cotidianas y patrones de uso de internet sobre la calidad de vida de adultos y mayores

Resum

Within this framework, and from the psychological perspective, our goal was focused on the study of usage patterns in Web 2.0 tools by adults and seniors, including the accessibility and usage barriers and the perceived benefits. All of this was analyzed in relation to the quality of life construct, specially highlighting the psychosocial and emotional components (emotional intelligence, coping, self-efficacy, achievement motivation and social competence), life experiences and daily practices. In order to solve this issue, different reviews and descriptive/exploratory surveys were carried out, responding to the research questions that emerged as the survey progressed and to some specific targets. Based on the results achieved and as a future line of research, it would be interesting to proceed to the design of virtual participations by means of the different Web 2.0 tools that promote the quality of life and the well-being of adults and seniors, promoting an adequate adaptation to this vital stage and the current social circumstances.
