Michelle M. Weil, Larry D. Rosen: A Study of Technological Sophistication and Technophobia in University Students From 23 Countries. In: Computers in human behavior. 11. Jahrgang, Nr.1, 1995, S.95–133, doi:10.1016/0747-5632(94)00026-E: „Over a two-year period, from 1992 - 1994, data were collected from 3,392 first year university students in 38 universities from 23 countries on their level of technological sophistication and level of technophobia. Technological sophistication was measured by the use of consumer technology (video-cassette recorders, microwave ovens, automated banking, computer/video games), university computing (classroom computer use, word processing experience, programming experience and use of library computers) and computer ownership. Technophobia was assessed by instruments measuring computer anxiety, computer cognitions and computer attitudes.“

Percentage of Students in each country who possessed high levels of technophobia"; several points are worth noting from Table 2. First, a group of countries including Indonesia, Poland, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Mexico and Thailand show large percentages (over 50 %) of technophobic students. In contrast, there are five countries which show under 30 % technophobes (USA, Yugoslavia - Croatia, Singapore, Israel and Hungary). The remaining countries were in between these two groupings.
