这项研究考察了老年人对电脑的态度是否会随着使用电脑的经历而变得更加积极。样本包括101名57岁至87岁的社区老年人。干预包括一个为期两周的计算机培训计划，在该计划中，受试者学习使用桌面出版软件程序。采用多维度计算机态度量表评估训练后不同态度的改变和改变的维持。结果表明，老年人的电脑态度是可以改变的，直接的电脑体验是改变的有效手段。在干预计划所设定的态度维度：电脑舒适度和效能上，发现态度改变是训练的函数。此外，在训练后至少维持两周的态度改变。
This research examined whether older adults' attitudes toward computers became more positive as a function of computer experience. The sample comprised 101 community-dwelling older adults aged 57 to 87. The intervention involved a 2-week computer training program in which subjects learned to use a desktop publishing software program. A multidimensional computer attitude measure was used to assess differential attitude change and maintenance of change following training. The results indicated that older adults' computer attitudes are modifiable and that direct computer experience is an effective means of change. Attitude change as a function of training was found for the attitude dimensions targeted by the intervention program: computer comfort and efficacy. In addition, maintenance of attitude change was established for at least two weeks following training.
