Nonprogramming computer performance was employed as the criterion variable, and the instruments used were four aptitude subtests on the Computer Aptitude, Literacy, and Interest Profile; the Computer Anxiety Scale; and the Computer Anxiety Factor. The findings indicated that the effects of computer anxiety on performance were inconsistent. In addition, the effects of computer aptitude on performance yielded inconsistent findings, and the relationship between computer anxiety and computer aptitude varied. It is suggested that computer anxiety might be related to computer experience. The reliability of the instruments used in the study is discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
