有一种性别刻板印象在研究中有一定的依据,那就是男性比女性更不愿意问路。我们想调查这种刻板印象是否适用于与技术相关的环境,从而影响老年人学习新技术的能力。为了探索寻求帮助与性别对老年人的影响,我们对36人进行了一项对照实验,其中18人被认为是男性,18人被认为是女性,并观察了他们在学习新申请时寻求帮助的频率。我们还对参与者进行了实验后访谈。我们发现,尽管大多数参与者都刻板地认为老年男性不愿在面试中寻求帮助,但在实验中性别差异微乎其微。相反,个体差异产生了更大的影响:年龄较大的参与者完成任务所需的时间更长,而技术自我效能感较低的参与者提出的问题明显更多。
A gender stereotype that has some basis in research is that men are more reluctant to ask for directions than women. We wanted to investigate whether this stereotype applies to technology-related contexts, affecting older adults' abilities to learn new technologies. To explore how help seeking and gender might relate for older adults, we conducted a controlled experiment with 36 individuals, of whom 18 identified as men and 18 identified as women, and observed how often they asked for help when learning new applications. We also conducted post-experiment interviews with participants. We found that although most participants stereotyped older men as being reluctant to ask for help in the interview, the gender difference was minimal in the experiment. Instead, individual differences had a greater effect: older participants took longer to complete tasks and participants with lower technology self-efficacy asked significantly more questions.
