Abstract: Automated communication technologies (ACTs) have largely become commonplace in the day to day life. Although these technologies are widely used, there is a not insubstantial proportion of the population that prefers to avoid contact with ACTs. Recently, a scale was developed to assess dispositional avoidance of automated communication technologies. The current study provides validation of the scale in an older adult population and demonstrates that the avoidance of automated communication scale can be discriminated from personality measures, including the Big Five and Grit, and is predictive of avoidance of ACTs.
