Determinants Of Computer Anxiety In Business Students

Abstract

An empirical study was performed to identify significant determinants of computer anxiety among business students.  The results indicate that there are significant differences in computer anxiety levels among students with different academic majors, among students that have taken a different number of computer courses, and among students that have learned a different number of software applications or programming languages.  The study found no significant difference in computer anxiety between male and female students, contrary to earlier studies.  In fact, female students had an overall lower level of computer anxiety than did their male counterparts.
