Loneliness in advanced age has become one of the societal concerns considering its detrimental effects onphysical and mental health of older people. Information and communication technologies show thepotential to prevent or tackle loneliness and social isolation among older people. Given a percentage of theolder population feeling lonely, loneliness in older age has been increasingly recognized as a stereotypeabout older people and ageing which shapes self-perceptions of ageing. This cross-sectional study aims toinvestigate the interaction between older people’s Internet use and the level of loneliness, as well asintroduce the important role that self-perceptions of ageing may play in this association. The analyses wereperformed on data of community-dwelling older adults aged 65+ years from the German Ageing Survey.Findings from this study have shown that older people’s greater Internet use was significantly associatedwith a lower level of loneliness; meanwhile, positive self-perceptions of ageing were correlated with alower degree of loneliness. Additionally, self-perceptions of ageing (in the aspect of personal competence)moderate the relationship between Internet use and loneliness among older people. This paper allowsinsight into the important moderating role of positive self-perceptions of ageing in the relationship betweenolder people’s Internet use and the level of loneliness. This moderating effect hence contributes to thebeneficial implications of frequent Internet use on preventing or reducing the level of loneliness. Given theglobal context of overwhelming facilitation of digital technologies across sectors and vulnerable socialgroups, it is of significance to empower older adults with negative self-perceptions of ageing to ensure theygain benefits from technological advances, as well as to challenge the prevalent stereotypes about olderpeople and ageing in societies.
