Abstract

With the growing statistics of older adults across societies, sustaining their health and well-being through active participation in sports cannot be neglected nor overlooked. This qualitative study purports to characterize the ontology of social media comments relative to older person's engagement in sports via latent content analysis. Specifically, a set of YouTube comments ( n = 7,546), extracted from select videos featuring older adults in sports ( n = 62), through YouTube Data Application Programming Interface (API) Version 3, was subjected to inductive analytic procedures of content analysis. Interestingly, this study afforded the emergence of a playing field model emanating from the dualistic perspectives of aging as engagement and aged as engaged that represent how YouTube users view older adult's continual involvement in sports. Limitations and future directions of this study are also discussed in this article.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
