The creation of the Competency Scale for Consumer and Personal Data Protection for the Elderly during Internet Use
e-protect project Transnational Report
The first intellectual output of the e-protect project refers to the development of a Competency Scale for consumer and data protection skills for the elderly during internet use. These competences are derived from the triangulation of three types of research data (desk research, interviews, questionnaires) to ensure that the scale is reliable and addresses the real needs of the target group. The results of each research method are presented in detail on the Transnational report, which is already available on project’s website. It is clarified that all information presented in that report refer only to partner countries (i.e., Cyprus, France, Greece, Ireland, Switzerland, and Austria). Specific information for each one of these countries is also available at the project website as country reports
