Reliability and Factorial Validity of Computer Attitude Scales
Abstract
As computer-related programs are introduced into school curricula, it is helpful to evaluate student attitudes which may affect the success of such programs. This study, involving 155 eighth-through twelfth-grade students, examines the reliability and factorial validity of the Computer Attitude Scale and its three subscales (Computer Liking, Computer Confidence, and Computer Anxiety). The data suggest that this instrument is an effective, reliable, and convenient means of measuring student attitudes toward learning about and using computers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
