Abstract

This article aims at studying (1) the relationships between three selected variables (computer attitudes, computer anxiety, and computer familiarity) and reading comprehension Computer- Based Test (CBT) performance of Thai students and (2) the extent to which the three variables predict their reading comprehension CBT scores. A correlational study was conducted. The data were collected from 90 undergraduate Thai students. They are assigned to three groups of high, average and low English language ability. Two research instruments of this study are a questionnaire and a reading comprehension CBT. The findings indicated that computer attitudes and computer anxiety are significantly correlated with CBT scores of students with all levels of language ability. Furthermore, computer familiarity was found to be a significant predictor of CBT scores of students of average language ability while computer attitudes were found to be a significant predictor of CBT scores of students with high language ability.
