WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Technophobia Questionnaire Test

cyberpsychology technophobia

This measure evaluates negative attitudes and anxiety related to interacting with modern technology. The Technophobia Questionnaire is a brief self-report tool intended to characterize the degree of discomfort, worry, or distrust a respondent may experience in relation to technological change.

Developed by Michelle L. Cheever and Jay W. Rosenberg, it consists of 16 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items are presented as short statements rated by the respondent, emphasizing subjective reactions rather than technical knowledge.

Scores from the Technophobia Questionnaire may be used to describe individual differences in technology-related apprehension in research or applied settings. Results should be interpreted in context and are not a standalone basis for diagnosis.
