ATTITUDES TOWARD COMPUTERS: A COMPARISON OF INDIAN AND NIGERIAN STUDENTS

There may be a general belief among people in developed countries that students in developing countries have negative attitude toward computers. However, this study found that both Indian and Nigerian students in general have positive attitude toward computers, although Nigerian college students have significantly less positive attitude than Indian college students do. More specifically, the results of the study indicate that Indian students like computers more, find computers more useful, have more confidence in computers, have less computer anxiety, and have a more general positive attitude toward computers than Nigerian students do. With regard to gender and attitudes toward computers, the results showed that male students had slightly (although not statistically significant) more favorable attitudes than female students. Surprisingly, correlation analysis revealed no relationship between age and attitude toward computers. Implications of these findings for governments and multinational corporations are also discussed. African Economic and Business Review, Vol. 1, Num 2, Fall 1998.
