Abstract
In an investigation of predictors of Y2K anxiety, 127 adults completed a questionnaire that assessed computer anxiety as well as several personality traits. It was hypothesized that Y2K anxiety would be associated with higher levels of trait anxiety, desire for control, intolerance of ambiguity, and computer anxiety. Religiosity, computer use, age, and gender were included as exploratory variables. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the best predictors of Y2K anxiety were trait anxiety, religiosity, low desire for control, and a desire for control by trait anxiety interaction term. Computer use and age were not significant predictors of Y2K anxiety. One way ANOVAs indicated that level of Y2K anxiety did not vary with gender.
