摘要

目的对老年人电信诈骗的研究现状进行系统梳理和详尽述评,探究老年人受骗机制、影响因素,以及反诈防骗研究现状,分析设计赋能老年人反诈防骗的实践路径。方法采用理论生成元综合方法,对76篇中英文文献进行系统梳理和归纳,呈现受骗者属性特征、诈骗说服过程、诈骗者特征、电信诈骗预防模型和反诈干预效果验证5个核心研究范畴。结果着重分析了老年人电信诈骗的研究进展及逻辑关联,构建基本研究框架,得出设计深度介入老年人反诈防骗工作的路径。结论目前的研究进展聚焦老年人受骗研究,虽然该领域的研究启示均提及为反诈防骗实践提供理论支持和启示,但是受骗研究和反诈防骗实践之间关联性较弱。提出设计赋能反诈宣传实践的路径和策略,维护老年人财产安全和心理健康,促进积极老龄化进程。

Abstract

The work aims to systematically sort out and thoroughly review the current research status of telecommunication fraud in the elderly, explore the mechanism of fraud, influencing factors and anti-fraud prevention in the elderly, and analyze and design the practical paths to empower the elderly in anti-fraud prevention. A theory-generation meta-synthesis method was used to systematically sort out and summarize 76 Chinese and English literature, presenting five core research areas: the attribute characteristics of the defrauded, the process of persuasion, the characteristics of the defrauder, the construction of telecommunication fraud prevention models, and the validation of the effectiveness of anti-fraud interventions. This study focused on analyzing the research progress and logical connection of telecommunication fraud among the elderly, constructing a basic research framework, and deriving a path for design to empower anti-fraud and fraud prevention for the elderly. In conclusion, the current research progress focuses on the study of the elderly being defrauded. Although the research all refers to providing theoretical support and revelations for anti-fraud and fraud prevention practices, there is weak correlation between the study of being defrauded and anti-fraud and fraud prevention practices. Design paths and strategies are proposed to empower anti-fraud advocacy practices to guard the elderly's property security and mental health and to contribute to positive aging.
