Abstract | Inspired by the increasingly important role of computers in vocational preparation and the practical value of determining curriculum and program needs on the basis of student vocational interests, an investigation of the differences in computer attitudes among students depending on their Holland type and their sex was initiated. Data were collected from a sample of 289 incoming freshmen (44% male, 56% female) at the University of Maryland, College Park. The subjects completed the Computer Attitude Scale (Loyd and Gressard, 1984), and were assigned a Holland vocational type (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, or Conventional) on the basis of their responses to an item which asked them to list, by occupation, their top three vocational goals. Results indicate that: (1) females are significantly more anxious, less confident and lower in computer liking than males; (2) Enterprising types are significantly more anxious, less confident, and lower in computer liking than Realistic or Investigative types; and (3) Artistic types are significantly more anxious than Realistic types and less confident and lower in computer liking than both Realistic and Investigative types. Statistical results are presented in four annotated tables, and references are provided. (Author/KM) |
