About
Chang Oh Kim’s research sits at the vital intersection of gerontology and human-computer interaction, focusing on how older adults engage with—and are sometimes alienated by—modern technology. Her work systematically unpacks the psychological and social roots of “technology anxiety,” demonstrating that it is not simply a personal failing but a phenomenon shaped by environment, support systems, and educational opportunity. In a landmark 2021 study (5 citations), she showed that an age-friendly environment significantly moderates the relationship between technology anxiety and attitude toward technology among Korean older adults, offering a clear policy lever for improving digital inclusion. A companion study (3 citations) further revealed the critical interaction between family social support and educational context in reducing technology anxiety. By shifting the conversation from individual deficit to systemic design, Kim’s research provides actionable insights for creating more accessible technologies and age-friendly communities. Her work is essential reading for anyone designing interventions or policies aimed at bridging the digital divide for aging populations.
