A Development of a Semantic Differential Scales (PCSD-S) for Measuring Attitude toward Personal Computers : A case of Students of an Upper Secondary School

Abstract

We have developed a semantic differential scales (SD) for measuring attitude toward personal computers. Students of an upper secondary school who have experience in using a personal computer are selected as subjects for the research. We have proceeded to the task by using the method to develop a Likert-type scale. As a result of the study, we have obtained a seven point SD scale with 10 items and found that the coefficient of reliability of the scale is remarkably high.
