Peer reviewedPanero, Jan C.; Lane, David M.; Napier, H. Albert – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1997
The Computer Use Scale (CUS) measures how people use computers across four dimensions: Enthusiasm, Entertainment, Efficiency, and Communication. The scale was found to be reliable and was able to detect differences among various classes of users. Applications of the scale to computer training, software design, and job placement are discussed.…
