Abstract

This study investigates computer anxiety among teachers graduate students in the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Malaysia. Relationships between computer anxiety level and sources of computer anxiety are analysed to better understand the phenomenon. The modified Computer Anxiety Scale (COMPAS) originally developed by Oetting (1983) was used to measure computer anxiety level. Sources of computer anxiety were measured using 13 items developed by Graham & Glenn (1995). Most of the respondents are generally relaxed and confident with computers. Investigation into the sources of anxiety reveals that damage anxiety is the highest source of anxiety. Significant positive relationships are also found between sources of anxiety and anxiety level with task anxiety showing the strongest relationship with anxiety level (r =0.57 , p<0.05).
