The Establishment Of Information Anxiety Scale

With the development of the computer technology and the network technology, the amount of information grew more and more faster. More and more people realized the importance of information More and more people tried to get more information to meet the needs of work and life. While a lot of people feel the convenience of the rapid flow of information were also confused by these information. One hand, people tried to get as much information as they can, on the other hand when they meet so much information they has generated anxiety that is information anxiety.The research of "Information anxiety" is an important aspect of information users'psychological research. Analyzing the root and the effect factor of information anxiety can help us to make sure the complex mental activity by the process of access to information, found the effect of users'mental activities on their use of information.It provided the necessary theoretical basis to the realization of personalities information service met the development requirement which the information management keeps pace with the times, enrich and consumed information service theory, the user psychology, info's user experience in the information construction system and so on has the extremely vital significance. "The information anxiety" mainly involved the information management science and the psychologyAlthough the domestic and foreign scholars realized "the information anxiety" is universally existed and proposed its reason, the harm and some countermeasures But the information management science scholar's objective point lies in the improvement of information technology, thus optimized information service. The psychology aspect's scholar mainly carries on the anxious diagnosis from the clinical symptoms aspect, thus alleviated symptom. Few scholars combined the two unions. At present "information anxiety" is mainly the qualitative investigation, there was no special measuring tool.This article is for the purpose of the conformity domestic and foreign related information anxiety research results, limits the information anxious concept and the connotation, establishes a set of information anxiety scale, and conducts the test research to the meter. Full text was made of six parts of constitutions. In the introduction, the dissertation elaborates the information environment of our country, proposes the concept of information anxiety based on the past research and referenced to the formation of the concept of anxiety. At the same time it elaborates the current situation, the purpose, the significance, the content and the way of the research information anxiety and its related research.The second part mainly introduced the information anxiety scale's establishment process. First it introduced the principle and the way of developing scale then developed the theoretical framework, carried on the collective interview to 20 in school doctor, the master's degree student, establishes the open style questionnaire according to the interview result. Made an investigation to 120 college students with the opening questionnaire, analyzed the result, ascertained the degree of the scale and developed the information anxiety scale.The section 3 was mainly about the estimated the scale. The goal of forecast and the examination was carried on the appraisal to scale's projects, deleted the inappropriate projects. Made an investigation to 350 information users then made project analysis and factor analysis according the result. The project analysis were mainly the area indexing analysis and the factor analysis. Mainly carries on meter's accumulated rate analysis and the critical ratio analysis in the area indexing analysis. According to area indexing analysis result deleted bad distinction ability projects. Factor analysis's goal is mainly clear about meter's result validity.It mainly has carried on the exploring factor analysis, withdrawn 6 factors in 41 projects, carried on the analysis, the explanation and the explanation separately to 6 factors. Made the adjustment to 41 project's orders, formd the official information anxiety scale.The section4 was mainly about the official surveying of the scale. Official inquiry's goal was appraises meter's uniformity, the rationality. Selected some sample and made the official surveying then estimated the reliability and the validity of the scale. This research has first calculated each factor as well as total meter's Cronbach's a coefficient. After the computation, various factors'Cronbach's a coefficient was from 0.795 to 0.849 entire meter's Cronbach's a coefficient was 0.965. At the same time, calculated each factor's divide in half the coefficient target, finally demonstrated that various factors divide in half the letter was from 0.744 to 0.863, the entire meter divides in half the coefficient target was 0.959. Obviously, the information anxiety scale had the good letter. The paper has mainly appraised meter's content validity and the structure validity, through to the meter establishment process's logic analysis, may think that meter's project has the reasonable origin and the good representation, has the good content validity. Carried on the exploring factor analysis, calculates meter's structure validity. After the analysis, between each project's correlation coefficient was between 0.533-0.733, has the significance related (p<0.01).Between various factors'relevance was between 0.280-0.569, the relevance has the significance (p<0.01).And factor and total meter's relevance was between 0.280-0.569, was remarkable related(p<0.01). Carried on the confirmation factor analysis in the exploring factor analysis's foundation, the analysis result indicated that meter's structure is more reasonable.The section 5 discussed the problems in the process of the research. The section 6 summarized the research and predicted the development trend in future.This article has combed domestic and foreign about the information anxious correlation theories, based on this, has limited the information anxious concept. from the psychology, the information sciences angle. Through the massive interviews, the investigation have enriched the information anxious correlation theories, formed the conception about the information anxiety. Based on the former qualitative investigation's, this article has established the information anxiety scale. This meter has provided the measuring tool for the information anxious appraisal, it has provided the basis for the information anxious research.
