Eastin, Matthew S.; LaRose, Robert
Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, v6 n1 Sep 2000
Collects survey data from undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory communication class to develop an operational measure of Internet self-efficacy. Finds the scale to be reliable and internally consistent. Concludes prior Internet experience, outcome expectancies and Internet use were significantly and positively correlated to Internet self-efficacy judgments, and Internet stress and self-disparagement were negatively related to Internet self-efficacy.
