DESCRIPTION
This is the digital technology self-efficacy measure we use in our research. A 17-item digital technology self-efficacy measure adapted from Holcomb, King, & Brown (2004) who reported reliability µ=0.80. Language was updated replacing computer with digital technology. Items were measured with a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). A 1.0 score reflects low digital technology self-efficacy, while a 4.0 represents high digital technology self-efficacy. Holcomb, L., King, F. B., & Brown, S. W. (2004).
