Dyck, Jennifer L.; Smither, Janan Al-Awar – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1994
Examines the relationship between computer anxiety and computer experience for older (over 55) and younger (under 30) adults. Data were collected from 422 subjects using attitude and anxiety scales. Results indicated that older adults were less computer anxious than younger adults but had less computer confidence. No gender differences were found…
