Kullanıcının bilgisayar tutumu ile algılanan kullanıcı dostluğu arasındaki ilişkinin spesifik bir senaryo üzerinden incelenmesi

Literature regarding human and computer interaction is enormous in size. Since computers have started to play an important role in our everyday life, researchers have focused on improving the interaction between these two entities. The usability of computer & software systems has been the main area of interest. Various techniques have been developed to measure usability. Some researchers have focused on objective usability whereas some have focused on the psychological aspect by examining subjective usability. When the objective is to examine a potential set of users' perceived usability, the context dependent nature of this specific literature even added to the difficulties. This research supplies an in-depth view of usability and computer attitude literatures, and offers computer attitude as an important variable which impacts perceived usability. A field study has been conducted in a population of 26 universities' students in Istanbul to test the model. The research findings indicate that computer attitude is an important variable that does have a significant effect on perceived usability.
