About
Dr. Do Kyung Yoon is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and the psychosocial determinants of technology adoption among older adults. Her work critically examines how age-friendly environments can buffer the negative effects of technology anxiety, a pressing issue in an increasingly digital society. In her highly cited 2021 study, "Technology Anxiety on Attitude Towards Technology," Dr. Yoon demonstrated that supportive, age-friendly surroundings significantly moderate the relationship between older adults' anxiety and their attitudes toward using new technologies. Drawing on a robust sample of 324 Korean seniors, her findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and designers aiming to reduce digital exclusion. By bridging environmental psychology with human-computer interaction, Dr. Yoon’s research has laid essential groundwork for creating inclusive technological ecosystems. Her contributions are particularly vital as populations age globally, ensuring that technological progress does not leave vulnerable groups behind.
