title: No sex difference in perceived competence of computer use among male and female college students in 2002.
abstract: The present research examined sex differences in general computer knowledge and computer anxiety. Survey data about computer knowledge, comfort, and interest were collected from 697 students, 579 from a previous study in 2001 at three types of colleges (a four-year liberal arts college, a business college, or a community college). With few exceptions, no differences associated with sex were detected. Implications for the present findings are discussed.
