Abstract: Contradictory findings are reported in the literature concerning computer anxiety and how it affects the performance of individuals executing computer-related tasks. The discrepancies in the findings could be caused by the sole use of computer anxiety questionnaires. The aims of the present study were to establish whether using a sensor glove provided complementary information to an existing computer anxiety questionnaire; and to compare the computer anxiety of participants using a sensor glove and an anxiety questionnaire with relation to performance. The study results suggest that the sensor glove and the anxiety questionnaire provided different information concerning participants’ anxiety before and after performing tasks on the computer. A negative correlation between computer anxiety and performance was found using both the sensor glove measurements and the computer anxiety scores. It is concluded that the sensor glove possibly measures a different variable from the anxiety ques tionnaire and further research is necessary in that regard. Additionally, it is concluded that the higher an individual’s levels of anxiety, the poorer he/she performed on the assessment. (More)
