- Abstract
The Douyin platform is popular among users of diverse ages, including the elderly. This study utilized the diffusion of innovations theory and the uses and gratifications theory to analyze the factors that influence the aged population's adoption and use of Douyin and to provide relevant improvement suggestions and marketing strategies. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 400 Douyin users who are 60 years or older in Beijing, and the data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. The study found that relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, entertainment, and self-expression are significant, whereas trialability, observability, and interpersonal maintenance are insignificant. Through this research, the Douyin platform can better understand the needs of the ageing population and provide more tailored products and services. Additionally, other institutions can also refer to these marketing strategies and suggestions to better serve the ageing population.
