Cross-Cultural Comparison of Gender Differences in Attitude towards Computers in Japan and Sweden.

Makrakis, Vasilios

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v36 n4 p275-87 1992

The interactions of gender, culture, and attitudes about computers were studied for 266 male and 204 female Japanese and 159 male and 144 female Swedish ninth graders. Most differences are best explained by country and student gender variables. The overall country effects are influenced more by females than males. (SLD)
