Abstract

Knowledge of computer ethics and its relationship to attitude toward computers and sociomoral reasoning was examined in a sample of sixty junior-high students. A measure of computer ethics was empirically derived via factor analysis of twenty-four items created by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory. Both computer attitude and sociomoral reasoning correlated significantly with knowledge of computer ethics, r = .52, p < .01 and r = .29, p < .05, respectively. Computer attitude, but not sociomoral reasoning, continued to account for variance in computer ethics scores after both gender and verbal ability were statistically controlled.
