We also consider how much insight people have into their level of knowledge by examining the relationship between our tested measure of computer knowledge and self-rated knowledge scores collected at the same time. This research also adds to the large body of existing empirical work on computer literacy in the student population, by looking at computer literacy in a more general sample of the Internet-using population. A further purpose of this research, as a result, is to make our dataset available for future research.Bradlow, E.T., Hoch, S.J., & Hutchinson, J.W., An Assessment of Basic Computer Proficiency Among Active Internet Users: Test Construction, Calibrarion, Antecedents and Consequences, Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics 27, no. 3: pp. 237-253.
