Cognitive functioning mediates the relationship between self-perceptions of aging and computer use behavior in late adulthood: Evidence from two longitudinal studies

作者：

Highlights：

• Positive self-perceptions of aging were associated with greater computer use behavior.

• Cognitive functioning mediated this relationship across two longitudinal studies.

• This was found among middle-aged and older adults from the United States and Germany.

• These findings were consistent across different cognitive domains and use measures.
