The factor structure of the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale and the Computer Thoughts Survey

The Relationship between Computer Anxiety and Computer Self-Efficacy

“…However, research tends to support that more experiences with computers reduce the level of anxiety. This is particularly true when students start using computers at early ages, own a personal computer at home, use computers more frequently in daily life, and their academic major is a technical one (Chou, 2003;Gordon, Killey, Shevlin, McIlroy, & Tierney, 2003;Weil & Rosen, 1995).…”

Measuring the technophobia among middle-aged and older adults in Latvia: A pilot study

“…8). These research instruments have been used and validated in more recent studies [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and are used in this study in order to assess levels of technophobia in older adults. Both users and non-users of computers were tested.…”

7. Computer-mediated communication competence

“…Age (e.g. Baloğlu and Çevik 2008;Baloğlu and Çevik 2009;Broady, Chan, and Caputi 2010;Correa 2010;Dyck and Smither 1994;Elias, Smith, and Barney 2012;Gordon et al 2003;Hargittai and Hinnant 2008;King, Bond, and Blandford 2002;Kubiatko 2013;Levinson 1986;Meelissen and Drent 2008;Morris 1994;Pope-Davis and Twing 1991;Rosen and Weil 1995;Unlusoy et al 2010;Wu and Tsai 2007) and age-related variables such as childhood (e.g., Holloway and Valentine 2001;Livingstone and Helsper 2007;Tripp 2011), adolescence (e.g., Calvani et al 2012;Leung and Lee 2012;Livingstone and Helsper 2010;Odendaal et al 2006;Unlusoy et al 2010; Brought to you by | Stockholms Universitet Authenticated Download Date | 10/10/15 2:14 AM Tripp 2011), youth (e.g., Facer et al 2001;Livingstone and Helsper 2007), and aging (Jacko et al 2004) have been examined in most social science work related to CMC competence.…”

“…In addition, the two variables of gender/sex (e.g., Colley and Comber 2003;Colley, Gale, and Harris 1994;Correa 2010;Corston and Colman 1996;DeYoung and Spence 2004;Dong and Zhang 2011;Durndell and Haag 2002;Facer et al 2001;Gordon et al 2003;Gui and Argentin 2011;Hargittai and Shafer 2006;Hargittai and Walejko 2008;Hemby 1999;Losh 2003;Lustig and Andersen 1990;Mitra et al 2000;Okebukola and Woda 1993;Pope-Davis and Twing 1991;Ray, Sormunen, and Harris 1999;Rosen and Weil 1995;Schottenbauer et al 2004;Shashaani 1994;Todman and Day 2006;Unlusoy et al 2010;Vekiri and Chronaki 2008;Williams et al 1993;Woodrow 1992) and socio-economic status (e.g., Gui and Argentin 2011;Hargittai and Hinnant 2008;Hargittai and Walejko 2008;Leung and Lee 2012;Okebukola and Woda 1993;Rosen and Weil 1995;Stanley 2003) are popular demographic correlates to CMC competence variables. Maybe surprisingly, comparatively little research exists on CMC competence and ethnicity (e.g., Correa 2010; Rosen and Weil 1995;Tripp 2011), though CMC competence itself has been examined within many different cultures.…”

“…Fear, phobia, anxiety or apprehension (e.g. Baloğlu and Çevik 2008; Baloğlu and Çevik 2009; Barbeite and Weiss 2004;Caroll and Kendall 2002;Celik and Yesilyurt 2013;Ceyhan 2006;Ceyhan and Gürcan Namlu 2000;Charlton 2005;Corston and Colman 1996;DeYoung and Spence 2004;Durndell and Haag 2002;Dyck and Smither 1994;Erdogan 2009;Farina et al 1991;Gaudron and Vignoli 2002;Gordon et al 2003;Igbaria and Chakrabarti 1990;Igbaria and Parasuraman 1989;King, Bond, and Blandford 2002;Mitra et al 2000;Morris 1994;Okebukola and Woda 1993;Okebukola, Sumampouw, and Jegede 1992;Pope-Davis and Twing 1991;Richter, Naumann, and Horz 2010;Schottenbauer et al 2004;Schulenberg and Melton 2008;Scott and Rockwell 1997;Scott and Timmerman 2004;Susskind 2004;Todman and Day 2006;Todman and Drysdale 2004;Todman and Monaghan 1994;Tripp 2011;Venkatesh et al 2003;Wilfong 2006) can hinder the development of applied skill, as was discussed in section 2.1. Such anxiety can even affect how people react to the mere possibility of future problems, such as anticipating y2k ("year-2000") problems (Schottenbauer et al 2004).…”
