Abstract
The Attitudes Toward Computer Usage Scale (ATCUS) was factor analyzed using a sample of elderly adults (average age 73). The resulting factor structure was compared with previously reported results obtained with a sample of college-age students. Results of this study indicated differences in the two-factor patterns. Discussion focuses on the need to include adults of all ages when developing this type of measuring instrument.Keywords
