The Effects of Format Differences and Computer Experience on Performance and Anxiety on a Computer-Administered Test.

Dimock, Paul H.; Cormier, Pierre

Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v24 n3 p119-26 Oct 1991

Conducted two experiments to determine whether scores on computerized test would differ significantly from scores on paper-and-pencil format. College students (Study 1, n=24; Study 2, n=400+) completed the Verbal Reasoning test of the Differential Aptitude Tests. Results showed reduced performance on computerized version of test. Reduced performance was not related to computer anxiety or computer familiarity. (Author/NB)
