Abstract
The relationships between computer-related attitudes and the Eysenckia n personality dimensions of extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism are explored among a sample of 298 female students in Israel. The dat a demonstrate that more positive attitudes towards computers are assoc iated with higher scores on the psychoticism scale and lower scores on the extraversion scale. There is no significant relationship between attitudes towards computers and scores on the neuroticism scale.
