Abstract

A survey has been conducted on 238 students to study the relationship between attitudes and computer utilization and between computer utilization and some demographic (e.g., age) and other non-attitudinal variables. The findings indicated that the overall attitude and computer liking were significantly related to computer utilization. Confidence, anxiety, and perceived usefulness were found to be insignificant determinants of computer utilization. In addition to attitude, other variables appeared to have a strong influence on computer utilization, namely the degree of computer experience, the degree of access to computers, and computer education.
