Categories of Computer Use and Their Relationships with Attitudes toward Computers.

Mitra, Anandra

Journal of Research on Computing in Education, v30 n3 p281-95 Spr 1998

Analysis of attitude and use questionnaires completed by undergraduates (n1,444) at Wake Forest University determined that computers were used most frequently for word processing. Other uses were e-mail for task and non-task activities and mathematical and statistical computation. Results suggest that the level of computer use was related to attitudes toward computers. (PEN)
