AB - This study aims to enhance understanding of the Internet use by elderly people in Korea. It
collected data from 336 people aged over 60 in Korea as a sample, using an online survey. It used
concepts of gratification sought (GS) and gratification obtained (GO) in order to study the psychological aspects of
elderly Internet users.
First of all, as a result of analyzing the difference between GS and GO in 19 items, it was found out that GO of
elderly Internet users is higher than GS in 15 items and vice versa in four items that are related with information
