这项研究的目的是为计算机厌恶、态度和熟悉指数(CAAFI)提供额外的心理测量学数据。CAAFI由40个项目组成，总分和4个因素得分，每个因素10个项目(一个熟悉，一个态度，两个厌恶)。该量表与计算机理解与体验量表、计算机态度量表、计算机厌恶量表一起被试(N=293)。通过验证性因素分析和内部一致性信度系数分析，对CAAFI的因素结构进行了支持。在计算机相关结构的其他测量中，CAAFI总分和因素1(计算机熟悉程度)和因素3(计算机厌恶-不适)的效度支持最强，其次是因素2(计算机态度)。关于因素4(计算机厌恶-恐惧)，根据分析结果，决定将这些项目从CAAFI中删除，以加强该测量的心理测量学特性和实用价值。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study's purpose was to provide additional psychometric data oil the Computer Aversion, Attitudes, and Familiarity Index (CAAFI). The CAAFI is comprised of 40 items, yielding a total score and four factor scores with 10 items each (one familiarity, one attitudes, two aversion). The measure was administered to a sample of undergraduate psychology students (N = 293) along with the Computer Understanding and Experience Scale, the Computer Attitude Scale, and the Computer Aversion Scale. The factor structure of the CAAFI was supported via confirmatory factor analytic procedures and analysis of internal consistency reliability coefficients. In relation to the other measures of computer-related constructs, the strongest validity support was found for the CAAFI total score and Factors 1 (computer familiarity) and 3 (computer aversion-discomfort), followed by Factor 2 (computer attitudes). With regard to Factor 4 (computer aversion-fear), given the results of the analyses the decision was made to remove these items from the CAAFI in order to enhance the measure's psychometric properties and practical utility.
