고령층 북한이탈주민의 인공지능 기술 인식이 일상생활 만족도에 미치는 영향: 사회적 자본의 조절효과를 중심으로 = The Impact of Older North Korean Refugees’ Perceptions of AI Technology on Their Satisfaction with Daily Life: Focusing on the Moderating Effect of Social Capita

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study analyzed the impact of AI technology perception on daily life satisfaction among elderly North Korean defectors (N=271), as well as the moderating effect of social capital. The results showed that, first, AI perception and social capital each had a significant positive (+) effect on life satisfaction.
Second, social capital had a negative (-) moderating effect on the relationship between AI perception and daily life satisfaction. This implies that the positive influence of AI perception on life satisfaction is significantly stronger among groups with low social capital. Consequently, this study demonstrates that positive perceptions of AI technology can compensate for the lack of social capital and mitigate the isolation experienced by elderly North Korean defectors with weak social networks.
