摘要

The Computer and Web Attitude Scale (CWAS) is a self-reported instrument consisting of a Computer Attitude Scale and a Web Attitude Scale to discover individual attitudes towards computers and Internet technologies. The purpose of the present study was to examine the underlying structure of the CWAS in a Greek setting and to investigate the relationship between attitudes and selected background variables. A sample of 240 library science students completed a Greek version of the CWAS. Overall two separate exploratory factor analyses were conducted, for CAS and WAS respectively. Exploratory factor analysis of the CAS scores showed that three factors could adequately explain the 59.5% of the variance. In addition, the internal consistency of the factors as assessed by the Cronbach's α was satisfactory (α >. 80). Similar results were found for the WAS. In particular, three reliable factors were extracted, which accounted for the 62.3% of the variance. Again the internal consistency was satisfactory (α >.79). Correlation analysis showed moderate positive associations among the six dimensions. Mean values of the CWAS dimensions suggested that participants had positive attitudes towards both the computers and the Web. Additionally, certain background characteristics were found to influence the levels of their attitudes. In conclusion, results showed that the Greek version of the CWAS is a valid and reliable instrument and can be safety used to assess attitudes towards Internet and computers in the Greek cultural context.
