ISRI - Information Systems Research Indicators

Construct: Anxiety

Description
Indicators

Note 1: Following are presented the definitions found for the construct in the used references, together with the theory/model.
Note 2: The same construct can be present in more than one theory/model.
Note 3: If the construct was not proposed in the original theory/model, it is identified as "Additional to theory/model".

Definition: Represents the feelings of apprehension or anxiety that one experiences when using computers.

Theory/model: SCT
Reference: (Compeau et al., 1999)

Definition: Evoking anxious or emotional reactions when it comes to performing a behavior (e.g., using a computer).

Theory/model: UTAUT
Reference: (Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003)

Note 1: This list contains all the indicators (measuring variables) as defined by the authors when proposing/using/applying a theory/model in a context. It also includes the scales used to measure the variables.
Note 2: Some of the indicators are context-dependent.
Note 3: The same construct can be present in more than one theory/model.

Indicator	Scale	Context	Theory/Model	Reference(s)
I feel apprehensive about using computer.	Scale 1 to 5	Computer	SCT	(Compeau & Higgins, 1995b) (Compeau, Higgins, & Huff, 1999)

It scares me to think that I could cause the computer to destroy a large amount of information by hitting the wrong key.	Scale 1 to 5	Computer	SCT	(Compeau, Higgins, & Huff, 1999)

I hesitate to use a computer for fear of making mistakes I cannot correct.	Scale 1 to 5	Computer	SCT	(Compeau, Higgins, & Huff, 1999)

Computers are somewhat intimidating to me.	Scale 1 to 5	Computer	SCT	(Compeau, Higgins, & Huff, 1999)

I feel apprehensive about using the system.	Scale 1 to 7	Not Specified	UTAUT	(Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003)

It scares me to think that I could lose a lot of information using the system by hitting the wrong key.	Scale 1 to 7	Not Specified	UTAUT	(Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003)

I hesitate to use the system for fear of making mistakes I cannot correct.	Scale 1 to 7	Not Specified	UTAUT	(Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003)
