The indisputable existence of a racial digital divide calls into question the democratizing potential of new technologies. Evidence that access alone will not be enough to eliminate the divide suggests a consideration of fundamental psychological factors that influence all behavior. The proposed research is a first step in testing a model of computer/Internet use. Its purpose is to develop methods and measures to examine how motivational, affective and cognitive factors influence the computer/Internet use of African Americans, and how use, in turn, influences motivation, affect and cognition. African American participants will receive home computers, participate in Internet interventions during home visits and complete survey instruments needed to test a model of computer/Internet use. Results are expected to be important to understanding why people choose to use or not use computers/Internet and the impact of use on people. Results will also be important to developing strategies for reducing the racial digital divide.

种族数字鸿沟的存在是无可争议的，这使人们对新技术的民主化潜力产生了疑问。 有证据表明，仅仅获得信息不足以消除这种鸿沟，这表明需要考虑影响所有行为的基本心理因素。 拟议的研究是测试计算机/互联网使用模型的第一步。 其目的是制定方法和措施，研究动机、情感和认知因素如何影响非裔美国人使用计算机/互联网，以及使用如何反过来影响动机、情感和认知。 非裔美国人参与者将获得家用电脑，在家访期间参与互联网干预，并完成测试计算机/互联网使用模式所需的调查工具。 预计结果将是重要的，以了解为什么人们选择使用或不使用计算机/互联网和使用对人们的影响。 其结果对于制定缩小种族数字鸿沟的战略也很重要。
