“…Seniors scored lowest in all digital behavior variables, which supports the finding of Barnard et al (2013). However, the current trend shows that an increasing number of Seniors use digital media to obtain information about shopping and make purchase decisions (Vroman et al, 2015).…”

“…Older adults' adoption of new retail technologies has lagged behind younger generations (Barnard, Bradley, Hodsgon, & Lloyd, 2013), maybe because they do not have the same level of interest in and exposure to new technologies (Vroman, Arthanat, & Lysack, 2015). However, older consumers increasingly use retail technologies for information search and making purchases.…”

“…However, when asked about which kind of wayfinding strategies they used, 55.1% of older drivers reported pulling over to check the map, but only 9.9% reported regularly using a navigation system (Bryden et al, 2013). This reluctance to use navigation aids could be linked either to a lack of confidence in new technologies (e.g., Barnard et al, 2013) or to overloaded cognitive resources (e.g., divided attention) when using them to drive.…”

a b s t r a c tAlthough old people make up an extremely vulnerable road-user group, older pedestrians' difficulties have been studied less extensively than those of older drivers, and more knowledge of this issue is still required. The present paper reviews current knowledge of older-adult problems with the main components of pedestrian activity, i.e., walking and obstacle negotiation, wayfinding, and road crossing. Compared to younger ones, old pedestrians exhibit declining walking skills, with a walking speed decrease, less stable balance, less efficient wayfinding strategies, and a greater number of unsafe road crossing behaviors. These difficulties are linked to age-related changes in sensorial, cognitive, physical, and self-perception abilities. It is now known that visual impairment, physical frailty, and attention deficits have a major negative impact on older pedestrians' safety and mobility, whereas the roles of self-evaluation and self-regulation are still poorly understood. All these elements must be taken into consideration, not only in developing effective safety interventions targeting older pedestrians, but also in designing roads and cars. Recent initiatives are presented here and some recommendations are proposed.

“…The system quality and the information quality were the key factors in the intention to use the system among professionals. Research by [3], however, determined that usability is a subjective perception and depends on both the design of the ICT system and the characteristics of the individual user. The user of a system forms a perception of usability based on the total experience associated with using the system.…”

“…The definition of usability is a bundle of attributes that includes perceptions the system is easy to learn, efficient to use, relatively error free, and subjectively pleasing [3]. Support refers to the degree an individual believes the organization and technical infrastructure supports the use of the technology [4].…”

Banks have to adopt new information and communication technologies such as e-banking and e-payments to maintain competitive positioning. The purpose of this quantitative correlational research is to determine if a relationship exists between the variables of security, usability and support and epayment adoption in the banking system in Jordan. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) provided the conceptual framework for the study. The hypothesis tested by the study stated in its alternative form was: A statistically significant relationship exists between Security, Usability, and Support and E-Payment Adoption. Data were collected using a survey instrument designed for the study through random sampling of managers and employees at banking institutions in Jordan. The results of the analysis of data show that the predictor variables of Security, Usability, and Support have a statistically significant relationship with the outcome variable of E-Payment Adoption. While each of the three predictor variables had a statistically significant relationship with the outcome variable of E-Payment Adoption, the strongest relationship was with the users' perception of Support. The implication of the results is that banks in Jordan should focus on the three predictor variables to obtain competitive advantages through user adoption of e-payments.
