“…In contrast, a negative connection between computer anxiety and computer-related-attitude, were only found in the middle of the course for computer use for learning and working. These correlations match to the findings by Richter et al (2000). According to this study, the positive correlation between computer anxiety and computer related attitudes was more explicit than the negative correlation.…”

“…For the case of computer-anxiety and computer related attitudes, Richter et al (2000) found positive a correlation between skills in security of using the computer and a positive valence in the attitude towards the computer -no matter if the use concerning communication and entertainment or learning and working. The opposite effect was found in connection with a negative valence in attitude towards the computer.…”

“…Computer anxiety is defined as stable disposition (trait) including cognitive and affective components (Richter, Naumann, & Horz, 2010). Richter, Naumann, and Groeben (2000) emphasize that computer attitudes and computer anxiety are not always clearly distinguished. Concerning the development of computer anxiety while working with a new technology, Venkatesh and Bala (2008) argue that the impact of computer anxiety on perceived ease of use will decline with increasing experience.…”

“…Following the definition of Richter et al (2000) computer related attitudes can be defined as cognition-based attitudes which " […] consist of the structured set of evaluate beliefs which a person holds toward the computer" (p. 476). These attitudes are distinguished from affect based attitudes, emotional dispositions and behavioral intention (Richter et al, 2000).…”

The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of challenges and factors which influence learning efficiency with electronic-portfolios. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM; Davis, Bagozzi, & Warshaw, 1989) we analyzed external variables (e.g., computer-anxiety) that influence technology acceptance and the actual system use in form of self-regulated learning. Additionally we included computer related attitudes and correlated them with external variables as well as measures of self-regulated learning. To foster learning efficacy with electronic portfolios the program Microsoft OneNote was used. A group of N = 32 preservice teachers worked on an electronic-portfolio in OneNote for 14 weeks.Results showed that computer-anxiety and the challenge of working with an electronic portfolio decreased over time. The more the computer was rated as a useful tool for learning and teaching, the less computer-anxiety, the more challenge and interest and better mood students reported. In contrast the more the computer was seen as uninfluential tool for working and learning, the more computer anxiety, hopelessness, anxiety and less positive mood, interest and joy to work on the electronic-portfolio has been reported. So, students' computer related attitudes should be considered when working with an electronic-portfolio to better tailor instruction to learner needs.

“…In the next step, they responded to the items of the BSRI and the transportation scale. Between the BSRI and the transportation items, 38 filler items on an unrelated topic (attitudes toward the computer; Richter, Naumann, & Groeben, 2000;Richter, Naumann, & Horz, 2010) were presented to minimize the risk of carryover effects. Finally, participants provided sociodemographic information and could request further information about the study by email.…”
