Abstract
As computers are introduced into school curricula, it is important to be able to evaluate student attitudes and reactions toward computers in order to assure the successful implementation of computers. In this study, the attitudes and reactions of two samples of college students from Los Angeles, California, and Hunan, People's Republic of China, toward computers were examined and compared. The results indicate that computer anxiety is present to a similar degree for both samples of American and Chinese students.
