Abstract

This study was designed to investigate how attitudes affect students' use of microcomputers. Undergraduates ( N = 829) were surveyed before and after completing required assignments in business communication classes on the microcomputer. Data about students with the best and worst attitudes toward microcomputers were analyzed. Students with more computer experience are more likely to have positive attitudes toward computers than those with less experience. In addition, students with a more positive attitude 1) are more likely to complete assignments on microcomputers and 2) will more likely use microcomputers in the future than those with less experience. Types of training needs differ depending on students' level of microcomputer experience.
