Abstract: An empirical study was conducted to investigate predictors of computer anxiety among undergraduate college business students. The effects of academic major, computer-related experience, gender, and ACT scores on computer anxiety were investigated. The results indicate significant differences in computer anxiety levels among business students with different majors and with different amounts of computer-related experience. Business studentsÕ ACT scores were also found to have a significant relationship to computer anxiety. A significant difference between male and female business students was not found. The implications of these findings are discussed.
