About
Yun Mook Lim is a researcher focused on the intersection of technology, aging, and social support, with a particular emphasis on understanding and alleviating technology anxiety among older adults. Her most-cited work, "Understanding Technology Anxiety by the Interaction between Social Support and Educational Context" (2021), examines how family support and educational environments jointly influence older Koreans' comfort with digital tools. Drawing on a sample of 310 cognitively healthy older adults, Lim demonstrates that technology anxiety is not merely a function of age or ability, but is shaped by the interplay of social and learning contexts. This study has garnered attention for its nuanced, person-centered approach to digital inclusion. Lim’s research contributes to gerontechnology and human-computer interaction, offering practical insights for designing supportive interventions that reduce barriers to technology adoption. Her work is particularly relevant as societies worldwide grapple with aging populations and the digital divide. By highlighting the role of social support, Lim provides a framework for educators, policymakers, and families to foster digital literacy and confidence among older adults, making her a valuable voice in the field of aging and technology.
