“…Daud (1995) applied factor analysis on a pool of items measuring language teachers' and students' attitude toward computers, where a single attitude factor emerged. Smith, Caputi, and Rawstorne (2000) also found that attitude's posited dimensions were inseparable, arguing that the items that elicit students' attitudinal and "psychological reactions" might not load on distinct factors. Although this line of research is relatively underdeveloped, it is important to compare the fit of unidimensional and multidimensional structures to the data to ascertain the psychometric validity of the scale (Teo, 2012).…”

“…Relatedly, Ajzen (2005Ajzen ( , 2011 argues that there is considerable commonality between cognitive and affective dimensions, and that is why distinguishing the two components might be impossible. The partial disagreement over the constituent structure of attitude may also be attributed to the lack of clarity surrounding attitude's definition, as there is still no universally endorsed definition for attitude (Franzoi, 2003;Smith et al, 2000).…”

Validity evidence is provided for a Persian blog attitude questionnaire (P-BAQ). P-BAQ was administered to 565 Iranians and factor analysis and rating scale model identified affective, behavioral, and perseverance, and confidence dimensions underlying the data. P-BAQ's validity argument was supported by the theoretical and psychometric evidence, although adding a few items to the instrument would improve its construct representativeness.

“…Similarly, Yi and Hwang (2003) found users to have more positive perceptions towards the web after using it for a period of time: when they had more experience, they had greater enjoyment. Other research also indicates that system experience positively correlates with attitude to the use of the systems and negatively correlates with anxiety (Smith, Caputi, Rawstorne, 2000;Durnell and Haag, 2002).…”

Web enjoyment has been regarded as a component of system experience. However, there has been little targeted research considering the role of web enjoyment alone in student learning using web-based systems. To address this gap, this study aims to examine the influence of web enjoyment on learning performance and perceptions by controlling system experience as a variable in the study. 74 students participated in the study, using a web-based tutorial covering subject matter in the area of 'Computation and Algorithms'. Their learning performance was assessed with a Pre-Test and a PostTest and their leaning perceptions were evaluated with a questionnaire. The results indicated that there are positive relationships between the levels of web enjoyment and perceived usefulness and non-linear navigation for users with similar, significant levels of system experience. The implications of these findings in relation to web-based learning are explored and ways in which the needs of students who report different levels of web enjoyment might be met are discussed.

“…Knowing learners' attitudes regarding e-learning has taken the attention of information system research (Bishop, 2006). Smith, Caputi and Rawstorne (2000) state that "computer attitude is defined as a person's general evaluation or feeling of favourableness or unfavourableness toward computer technologies (i.e. attitude towards objects) and specific computer-related activities (i.e.…”
