Assessing computer anxiety with the interaction model of anxiety: development and validation of the computer anxiety trait subscale

摘要

This study was conducted to develop and validate a new computer anxiety scale. The scale is based on an interaction model of anxiety that emphasizes the influential role of specific situations e.g. computer interaction situations. The data supported the reliability and the validity of the scale. During a computer interaction, greater computer anxiety was associated with greater state anxiety. Interest of using the scale with the Endler Multidimensional Anxiety scales are discussed.
