Abstract
The present study was done with the aim of presenting a model for predicting computer anxiety of Fars province Payame Noor University students based on Dweck’s cognitive-social approach regarding intelligence beliefs and goal orientations through path analysis. To do this, 523 students (320 female and 203 male) were selected through multistage cluster and stratified ratio sampling and answered to a questionnaire composed of intelligence beliefs, achievement goals and computer anxiety subscales. Results showed that entity intelligence beliefs have indirect positive effect on computer anxiety through the mediation of performance-avoidance and performance-approach goals. Incremental intelligence beliefs have indirect and negative effect on computer anxiety through the mediation of mastery goals. Moreover, the goodness of fit indices of the fitted model for predicting computer anxiety provided empirical support for application of Dweck’s cognitive-social approach in an instructional context different from the instructional traditional one.
