A model for computer anxiety: the effect of achievement goals and epistemological beliefs

The aim of this study was to prepare a model for computer anxiety through the investigation of the relationship of achievement goals and epistemological beliefs with computer anxiety. To do this, 375 undergraduate students (218 female and 157 male) from the University of Tehran were chosen through relative class sampling. They completed a questionnaire composed of an achievement goals scale, an epistemological beliefs questionnaire, and a computer anxiety scale. The results showed that mastery and performance- avoidance goals directly and epistemological beliefs indirectly, i.e.; through the mediating role of achievement goals, can significantly (p<0.05) predict computer anxiety.
