Also, other predictors we supposed have no influence on the level of computer anxiety. Consequently, the findings show a different idea from those of prior research, which concluded that, these factors do have an impact on computer anxiety. Associated gender with college class, however, the computer anxiety rate showed a significant difference among participants.
