State anxiety responses as a function of specific computer interaction eventsVavrik, John January 1987 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to develop a model of investigating anxiety in human-computer interactions. The model was constructed from three components. Firstly, precursor conditions of anxiety were identified by assimilating several of the accepted theoretical viewpoints of the anxiety concept. Secondly, the computer-human interaction process was examined and typical events in this process were identified. Finally, a connection between the computer-human interaction process and anxiety was proposed by identifying a subset of specific interaction events that were representative of the anxiety inducing conditions. These were termed Computer-Interaction Anxiety (CIA) events. To test the validity of the model an experiment was carried out in which state anxiety data was collected while 31 subjects were engaged in an interactive computer programming session. There was a significant increase in the subjects' state-anxiety level immediately after experiencing typical CIA events. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate

Psychological type and cognitive style as antecedents of computer attitude components.Fuller, Beverly Dawn January 1997 (has links)
A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Psychology,
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in
partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree
of Master of Arts. / The current research report seeks to investigate the relationship between
psychological type/cognitive style, and computer attitude components, namely
computer anxiety. computer confidence, and computer liking, in a sample of
full-time banking employees. Psychological type is assessed by means of the
dichotomous preferences of extraversion-introversion (E-I), thinking-feeling
(T-F) , and sensing-intuition (S-N), based on Jungian personality theory, and
operationalised by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. The T-F and S-N
preferences, being mental processes 0'1 judging or perceiving, may also be
interpreted as cognitive styles. Pertinent to the current investigation is the
impact that certain demographic variables have on computer attitudes, in
terms of their relationship with, and their ability to predict computer attitudes.
Research results provide moderate support for the proposed hypotheses. No
relationship was found between the extraversion-introversion preference and
computer attitudes. People with a sensing preference exhibited more positive
attitudes towards computers than people with an intuition preference, People
with a thinking preference indicated less computer anxiety and more positive
computer attitudes as a whole than their feeling counterparts. No relationship
was found between the T- F preference and computer liking or confidence.
Age and previous computer experience were found to have the strongest
relationships with computer attitudes, suggesting that these two demographics
could predict computer attitudes more effectively and conclusively than
personality variables. No relationships were found for gender differences and
computer attitudes, contrary to previous research. / Andrew Chakane 2018

Computer anxiety and mental models of first time adult computer usersBain, Pamela January 1998 (has links)
Thesis (M.A.(Psychology)) -- University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Arts, 1998. / Computers are here to stay (Marcoulides, 1995), however there are still many
people who are learning about computers for the first time. Since there is a
distinct lack of understanding on whether computer attitudes will change
subsequent to controlled exposure to computers, as well as little sound
research on mental model change with respect to interaction with computers,
an ex post facto, matched-pairs with control group field research design it was
deemed necessary to ascertain changes in attitudes and mental models as a
result of a 'basic skills in computing' course. Additionally various variables that
would influence these variables were also considered, including prior
knowledge/usage of computers, prior exposure to computer-like devices, and
demographic variables.
The research sample consisted of sixty two trainees prior to the course, thirty
three subsequent to the course measures and eleven control group subjects
tested over a similar time span. The Loyd and Gressard (1984) scale of
computer attitudes was used, incorporating measures of computer anxiety,
computer confidence, computer liking and overall attitudes towards
computers. The subjects were also required to draw their mental model of
what was 'under the lid of the computer box' and to fill out a demographics
questionnaire.
The results revealed that home language, occupation, prior knowledge/usage
of computers and to some extent age influenced computer attitudes and
furthermore, these no longer influenced attitudes subsequent to the course. A
change in overall computer attitudes as well as confidence was also found.
However, the control group did not differ significantly from that of the
experimental group in terms of attitudes in order to confirm this effect.
Demographic variables did not effect mental model conceptualisations,
however they did vary as a result of the computer course and these results
were confirmed in that the control group remained the same. Additionally prior
exposure to computers in terms of having either seen, used or owned
computers related to mental models although knowledge/usage of computers
did not.
The implications that these results have in terms of the influence that training
courses have on attitudes and mental models are presented. While every
effort was made to ensure that a sound research design was used, several
limitations of the research were discussed. Suggestions for improvement and
areas for future studies are, as a result, delineated.

Anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism towards computers: definitions, predictors, and relationships with computer attitudesRaffray, Benoit Joseph Marcel January 1997 (has links)
Thesis (M.A.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Arts Faculty (Industrial Psychology), 1997 / The paper set out to define anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism
with respect to computers as well as creating valid and reliable
scales to measure these constructs. It also explored these
constructs' relationship with attitudes towards computers and began
to explore possible predictors of anthropocentrism and
anthropomorphism. Anthropocentrism with respect to computers was
defined as a motive or value in which people perceive humanity to be
the most significant of all entities and in which computers are seen
as valuable to the extent that they are able to maintain or enhance
the quality of life of humans or provide benefits to them.
Anthropomorphism with respect to computers was defined as the extent
to which people believe that computers have the same capabilities and
characteristics that humans have. As hypothesised. anthropocentrism.
anthropomorphism and attitudes towards computers were found to be
negatively related but distinct constructs. Anthropocentrism was
found to be positively related to attitudes towards computers and
anthropomorphism was inversely related to attitudes towards
computers. Exploratory studies found that predictors of
anthropocentrism included gender. and predictors of anthropomorphism
included gender. culture. and experience with computers. / AC 2016
