What the paper says

This study adapts an Abbreviated Technology Anxiety Scale (ATAS) into Arabic to serve as a measurement tool for assessing technology anxiety among native Arabic speakers. The adapted tool is called the Arabic-Abbreviated Technology Anxiety Scale (A-ATAS), which was psychometrically validated in this research. Using Google Maps as an example of a technology tool, a psychometric evaluation was conducted with 342 participants, assessing the validity and reliability of the A-ATAS tool. The results indicated that A-ATAS has an acceptable value of reliability with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.866, in addition to acceptable values for both the scale-level content validity index (0.883), the face validity index (0.864) and factor analysis were also conducted. The findings indicated that abbreviated versions of the adapted A-ATAS suggested acceptable psychometrically evaluated properties for the abbreviated version of the adapted A-ATAS. The implications of these findings are substantial for both academic research and professional practice in software development and design.
