Astell et al.’s (2020) review explored the role of identity (ID) in older adults’ decision making about AT adoption.
-ID is also referred to as self-image
-ID is explored as consistent with competence, independence and self-reliance.
-ID is relevant to understand AT decisions

[Ageing Well with Tech @AgeingwellTech]

"…the process of becoming a user of AT is closely related to self-image, in that the participants continuously balanced the positive aspects of AT use with its impact on their self-image". (pp. 191)

Larsen et al.'s (2019) meta-synthesis review (17 papers) identified a close relationship between older adults' self-image and their process of becoming AT users. Diagram below shows the phases they identified based on the themes emerged.
