Measuring Attitudes toward Computers: Two Approaches.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present two questionnaires developed by the authors to measure attitudes toward computers. The first questionnaire is designed to measure attitudes toward computers in general. The second questionnaire is designed to assess attitudes toward a specific medical information system. Data concerning the reliability of these instruments is presented. Data concerning both the predictive and the concurrent validity of these measures are also presented. The results indicate that scores on both of the questionnaires assessed prior to computer implementation are reliable and valid predictors of post-implementation adaptation to the computer and perceptions of training. Scores on the questionnaires designed to assess specific attitudes, measured at three points in time, are also related to concurrent measures of job satisfaction and adaptation to the computer system.
