Summary: | The two-factor structure (Technical Competence, General Competence) of the Computer Understanding and Experience Scale was examined through confirmatory factor analysis with a sample of 293 undergraduates from a medium-sized university located in the southern USA. Analysis indicated that the two-factor subscale structure of the Computer Understanding and Experience Scale was supported. The Computer Understanding and Experience Scale's total score is internally consistent (.82) with reliability coefficients for the two subscales of .75 for Technical Competence and .71 for General Competence. The importance of increasing diversity of the sample in subsequent studies is discussed. |
