The relationship between thinking style and computer-induced stress in students

Computer-related stress has been cell-elated to general stress (Cohen, Kamarack, and Mermelstein, 1983) and to somatic complaints (Derogatis et al., 1974). Human-computer interaction is suspected to be even more stressful for certain types of learners which may affect their success in computer-oriented instruction. This study investigates the correlation between thinking style and computer-related stress in Management Information Systems (MIS) students. Measures of thinking style and of computer-induced stress levels were collected and analyzed for seventy-three MIS students.
