Objective: We aimed to develop a dependable reliable tool for assessing software ageappropriateness. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to get the indicators of technology ageappropriateness from studies from January 2000 to April 2023.This study engaged 25 experts from the fields of anthropology, sociology,and social technology research across, three rounds of Delphi consultations were conducted. Experts were asked to screen, assess, add and provide feedback on the preliminary indicators identified in the initial indicator pool. Result: We found 76 criterias for evaluating quality criteria was extracted, grouped into 11 distinct domains. After completing three rounds of Delphi consultations,experts drew upon their personal experiences,theoretical frameworks,and industry insights to arrive at a three-dimensional structure for the evaluation tooluser experience,product quality,and social promotion.These metrics were further distilled into a 16-item scale, and a corresponding questionnaire was formulated.The developed tool exhibited strong internal reliability(Cronbach's Alpha is 0.867)and content validity(S-CVI is 0.93). Conclusion: This tool represents a straightforward,objective,and reliable mechanism for evaluating software's appropriateness across age groups. Moreover,it offers valuable insights and practical guidance for designing and developing of high-quality age-appropriate software,and assisst age groups to select software they like.
翻译:目的:旨在开发一款可靠且值得信赖的软件适龄性评估工具。方法:我们对2000年1月至2023年4月期间的相关研究开展系统综述,以获取技术适龄性评估指标。本研究邀请了来自人类学、社会学和社会技术研究领域的25名专家,共进行三轮德尔菲咨询。专家们需对初始指标池中的初步指标进行筛选、评估、补充并反馈意见。结果:我们提取出76项质量评估标准,并将其归纳为11个不同维度。完成三轮德尔菲咨询后,专家们基于个人经验、理论框架及行业洞察,构建出评估工具的三维结构——用户体验、产品质量与社会推广。这些指标进一步浓缩为16项量表,并编制出相应问卷。该工具显示出较强的内部一致性信度(Cronbach's Alpha系数为0.867)和内容效度(S-CVI值为0.93)。结论:本工具为评估不同年龄段软件的适用性提供了一种直接、客观且可靠的机制。此外,它为设计开发优质适龄软件提供了宝贵见解与实践指导,并有助于不同年龄群体选择心仪的软件。
