    Abstract

    This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of observational learning with live models in facilitating technology adoption for older people. A between-groups observational training with a video-taped demonstration was developed. Model generation (child, young adult, and old adult) was set as factor that may affect training outcomes. Sixty Hong Kong Chinese people aged 60 or above were divided into three groups. Results confirm that the self-efficacy and behavioral intention of older people significantly improved after the training. The greatest improvement of self-efficacy and behavioral intention was found in the old adult and child model groups, respectively.
