Computer Anxiety Levels of Southern Region Cooperative Extension Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
The advent of computers into the Cooperative Extension System (CFS) has created a state in agents’ lives that has been termed “computer anxiety.’ Oetting (1983) defined computer anxiety as “the anxiety that people feel they will experience when they are interacting with computers-the anxiety associated with the concept of computers” (p. 1). Maurer and Simonson (1984) had a similar definition, “the irrational fear or apprehension felt by an individual when using computers or when considering the possibility of computer utilization” (p. 2).
