Abstract
This study examined the relationship between locus of control, two sets of beliefs about computers as electronic performance monitors, general compute r attitudes, and computer experience. Results support a model in which comp uter attitudes mediate the relationship between an individual's locus of co ntrol and computer experience and between monitoring beliefs about computer s and computer experience.
