Examining the Impact of Digital Inclusion on Depression Among Older Adults in China: Mediating Role of Noncognitive Abilities
Our results demonstrate that digital inclusion is a negative predictor of depression among older adults, and noncognitive abilities play a partial mediating role between digital inclusion and depression status. Moreover, conscientiousness, extraversion, openness, and emotional stability of the Big Five personality traits have parallel mediating effects between digital inclusion and depression status.
