摘要
This study investigated the effects of age, gender, and computer experience on four subscales measuring attitudes towards computers. Approximately 207 college students responded to 40 Likert-type statements about computer anxiety, confidence, liking and usefulness. Results indicated that unlike previous investigations, gender did not significantly influence attitudes. Age and computer experiences however, were found to influence computer attitudes on some of the subscales. These influences were attributed to a greater emphasis on computer technology in the schools. © 1991.
