Abstract [en]
What are the factors that could influence an individual’s attitudes towards computers and
Internet? Our study tries to give some possible answers to this question. The aim of this
study was to see if there were any connections between the individual’s degree of usage
of computers/Internet and attitudes towards the same. Furthermore we wanted to examine
if there were any differences between men and women’s attitudes towards computers and
the Internet as well as if there were any differences in their degree of usage. We also
wanted to examine if there were any differences between individual’s from different
socio-economic backgrounds regarding their attitudes. The study included 270 members
of a non-governmental organisation. The results showed a connection between an
individual’s attitudes toward computers/Internet and degree of usage. We also found a
connection between socio-economic background and his or her attitudes toward
computers. We did not however find any differences between men and women’s attitudes
and degree of usage of computers and the Internet.
