Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS) as discussed by the authors was developed and validated by examining the behavioral, cognitive, and affective components of computer anxiety, and the CARS was shown to be a reliable and valid measure.

714 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the research on peer interaction with computers to determine its effects on learning and found that the advantages or disadvantages of group work for learning, the kinds of verbal interaction that occur when students work together at the computer, and the kind of interaction that are beneficial or detrimental for learning.

44 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an empirically based instructional method to improve higher-order thinking strategies, which employs computer-managed simulations that present contextually meaningful problem situations that require students to prepare solution proposals.

37 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The authors compared the effects of a computerized administration procedure on the reliability and validity of the Verbal scale of the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB-V), and objective item measure of intelligence, to the standard paper-pencil administration procedure.

35 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a recursive causal model was used to explain the attitudes of a sample of clerical employees toward computer-administered ability testing and to evaluate the effects of ability (verbal, numerical, and perceptual abilities assessed via the computer), experience (word processing experience, computer-related experience), and demographic (educational level) variables posited as determinants of the attitude factors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the equivalence of computerized versus paper-and-pencil MMPI administration was evaluated using a Latin Squares design, and the results showed that computerized and paper and pencil formats were equivalent.

27 citations



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of a three-week microcomputer training workshop for college professionals and found that participants thought computers were more understandable, and described themselves as less nervous, more knowledgeable, and more proficient after the workshop than before.

18 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The authors compared the use of computer-administered and paperadministered versions of a classroom achievement test with elementary school children and found that high achievers who were administered the arithmetic test via computer with feedback showed significantly higher state anxiety than high math achievers in the other treatment conditions.

18 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The use of computer-based interpretations of personality and psychodiagnostic tests has been the subject of widespread criticism due to the lack of demonstrated validity as discussed by the authors, and the use of computers in psychological assessment is now well established.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An expert computerized consultation system for assisting a non-mental-health-expert assess and treat emotional and behavioral emergencies in a remote area and it is suggested that the intended educational/instructional aspects of expert systems may make them more appropriate for, and potentially better accepted by “non-experts.”

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of individualistic and competitive goal structures in a computer-assisted mathematics program were investigated, and it was found that males receiving competitive feedback performed better than females receiving competitive goal structure.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated adolescents' interest in using computers, as well as academic and social activities which are associated with an interest in computers, among students in lower and middle class schools.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: SuperShrink as discussed by the authors, an educational simulation of a clinical interview for undergraduate psychology students, is described and evaluated with special attention to the optimal balance of interview structure and realism created by how students question the simulated patient.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is argued the computer can be used effectively to automate many tasks normally undertaken by clinicians and that the computer may have special advantages over the clinician for some purposes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a portion of the validation data used in the development of CLASS.LD2, an expert system for classifying learning disabled students, was summarized and compared to those of the expert system and the placement teams.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The authors compared the effect of a computer-conducted intake interview procedure with the same interview conducted by human counselors on clients' expectations concerning the counseling process, and found no significant differences between the two groups on any of the measures, thus supporting the study's hypotheses.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The major dimensions of this computer-psychology interface are: artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, clinical/educational applications, and the question of the impact of computers on human identity as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the content of investigations on the social psychology of computers in the workplace and suggested some uses of the computer in generating further research, placing emphasis on the computer and social control in organizations, the psychological effects of telecommuting, and computers and decision making in organizations.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Results illustrate the unique capacity of the microcomputer to simultaneously assume the dual roles of effective teacher and unobtrusive researcher while impacting thousands of individuals from diverse backgrounds and ethnic origins.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Specific instructional design suggestions are proposed for the development of future ICAI systems, including combining knowledge representation techniques and task analysis procedures for theDevelopment of a knowledge base.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the deterministic approach is more conducive to the development of detailed process models that account for individual differences, and some of the problems encountered in estimating individual difference parameters in computer models are discussed and tentative solutions are offered.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The paper will address quality and usability dimensions of STATGRAPHICS from the vantage point and needs of an educational researcher.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An accounting framework for estimating costs in ABE is illustrated, some benchmark cost data for making inter-project comparisons are presented, and some preliminary observations on the cost-effectiveness of CAI in both TLC and ABE are offered.
