How does the resilience of older adults emerge in online communities

(2022) How does the resilience of older adults emerge in online communities. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Resilience is an important element for the wellbeing of older adults. This study investigated how the resilience process among older adults emerges in online communities. Through analysing the Reddit online forum, and performing interviews with older adults, this work proposed a digital resilience model explaining different stages of the resilience process in online communities. Findings showed that in OCs, the process of resilience starts with older adults sharing a certain group of stressors through several practices. This can result in either developing or declining their resilience factors through different scenarios.
