02.01.2022 Mapping the Online Social Networks of Australian Seniors Are you a Facebook user, 50+ years of age and eligible to vote in Australia? Or are you a Facebook friend with someone who is 50+ and eligible to vote in Australia? If so, Australian National University researchers would like you to participate in their research into social networks and successful ageing in Australia, by installing the AuSON (Australian Seniors' Online Networks) Facebook application via the following... URL: http://auson.anu.edu.au As part of an Australian Research Council Linkage Project with industry partner National Seniors Australia, ANU researchers are undertaking pioneering research into how Australian seniors are using the Facebook social networking site to connect with friends and family, and the relationship between social networks and successful ageing. The ANU team has developed the AuSON Facebook application, which automatically collects information on the structure of participants' Facebook networks. Participants are also invited to provide additional information about offline friends, how their social networks provide access to resources such as information and assistance (social capital) and measures of ageing status such as physical and mental wellbeing. By collecting data on both social network and ageing status, the researchers hope to be able to better understand the role of social networks (in particular, online social networks) in contributing to successful ageing in Australia. Understanding how online social networking can contribute to successful ageing is important in Australia where population ageing is a key policy challenge and Internet broadband access is expected to grow significantly with the rollout of the National Broadband Network.
