Examining the psychological impact of computer technology: An updated cross-cultural study

The Computer Anxiety Scale (CAS) is a measure of perceptions by individuals of their anxiety in different situations toward computers. The CAS was developed a number of years ago before computer technology became such an integral part of life. Covariance modeling techniques were used to examine whether the originally proposed construct of computer anxiety has undergone change in a sample of German college students. Results provide support for the invariance of the factor structure of the scale.
