Critical Thinking Ability and Prior Experience as Predictors of Reduced Computer Aversion.

Hadfield, Oakley D.; Maddux, Cleborne D.; Love, Glendel D.

Computers in the Schools, v13 n3-4 p13-29 1997

Describes a study that examined potential predictor variables and their relationship to computer aversion among preservice teachers. It was hypothesized that prior experience, ownership of a personal computer, and critical thinking ability would be negatively related to computer aversion, and that an introductory computer literacy course would reduce computer aversion.
