Computer anxiety: sex, race and age
International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 1986Two studies are described in this article. The first examined antecedents of computer anxiety and the second exposed two groups of subjects who had no previous experience with computers to two treatments designed to lower the anxiety. Results indicated that for those persons with high anxiety an English composition course treatment in which students ...

Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1999
In this article we propose that the existing literature on computer anxiety has neglected to consider two issues: 1) that there is an existential element to computer anxiety, and 2) that computer technology has undergone historical changes that bring with them subsequent changes in the metaphors we use to understand computers. Failure to consider these

Computer Experience, School Support and Computer Anxieties
Educational Psychology, 1997Past research has shown computer anxiety to be present in a sizeable minority of school teachers, and has identified some of the personal and school‐based correlates of this anxiety. Before effective interventions can be introduced, however, more needs to be known of the various forms and sources of this problem.

The Relationship between Computer Anxiety and Computer Achievement
Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1988Computers are rapidly being introduced into virtually every work setting. The ability to use computers, therefore, has become a crucial component in the educational process. Computer anxiety, however, may influence student abilities to master computer skills and consequently affect the degree to which computers can effectively be utilized.

Computational Mechanisms of Information-Seeking in Anxiety
The drive to seek information through exploratory behavior is widespread in both humans and other animals. This can be adaptive in reducing uncertainty about the best course of action within novel or changing environments. However, exploratory behaviors can also become maladaptive if subjective uncertainty levels remain too high or too low, as may ...Ko-Ping, Chou, Ryan, Smith
