Abstract
Factor analysis of several computer attitude and anxiety scales suggested that computer anxiety and attitude toward computers should be treated as separate constructs. Some evidence of the convergent validity of the computer anxiety construct was demonstrated. However, the predictive validity of computer anxiety and various computer attitudes was low.Keywords
