Anxiety Management Training as a Strategy for Enhancing Computer User Performance.

Bloom, Arvid J.; Hautaluoma, Jacob E.

Computers in Human Behavior, v6 n4 p337-49 1990

Discussion of computer anxiety focuses on a study of undergraduates in an introductory psychology course that assessed the effects of relaxation and coping skills training on their anxiety and performance as they learned to use a spreadsheet program. The influence of the computer's user friendliness was examined, and treatments for the experimental and control groups are explained. (34 references) (LRW)
