Abstract

In this paper, we describe a paper-based survey for measuring seven Internet anxiety types. A paper-based survey was distributed among seventy university participants and forty-nine responded with a valid response. The evaluation and analysis of seven types of Internet anxiety revealed internal consistency and acceptable reliability. The findings also suggested for omitting non-significant Internet anxiety types. The results showed that a user feeling while browsing is independent on level of familiarity with the Internet contents.
