WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Technophobia Questionnaire Test - Description and methodology of the test

cyberpsychology
technophobia

For people who feel uneasy when devices, online services, or workplace systems change, the Technophobia Questionnaire Test offers a structured way to examine that reaction. It examines technology anxiety alongside concerns about social change, human replacement, learning demands, internet monitoring, and avoidance. The result helps identify which situations deserve closer self-reflection rather than treating technology-related unease as one undifferentiated feeling.

What This Assessment Explores

Surveillance, social change, human replacement, learning, and technology avoidance are dimensions of technophobia: fear, anxiety, avoidance, and negative attitudes toward devices and internet systems. Its profile shows whether unease is concentrated or broad:

  • Social Consequences (5-25) measures social and relationship concerns: Low concern 5-11, Moderate concern 12-18, High concern 19-25.
  • Technology Will Replace People (3-15) measures replacement concerns: Low concern 3-7, Moderate concern 8-11, High concern 12-15.
  • Learning to Use New Devices (4-20) measures difficulty learning communication and work devices: Low difficulty 4-9, Moderate difficulty 10-15, High difficulty 16-20.
  • Fear of Using the Internet (4-20) measures online fear, tracking, and security concerns: Low 4-9, Moderate 10-14, High 15-20.
  • Technophobia (16-80) measures overall fear, anxiety, avoidance, and negative attitudes; Low 16-37, High 38-80.

Methodology and Evidence Base

Five-point responses run from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree, capturing degree of endorsement rather than a yes-or-no reaction. Four item groups contribute to the profile: social effects, human replacement, device learning, and online use. Avoidance-related responses help express the broader construct across these groups. Scores are presented as dimension totals and an overall total; each is read against the displayed range and band, which are descriptive for this online profile rather than universal clinical cutoffs or population norms.

This questionnaire presents the 16 items and four domains of Khasawneh’s 2018 Technophobia Scale in an online self-report format. Brosnan’s 1998 work adds psychological context for how information technology can shape confidence, attitudes, and behavior. The profile clarifies which technology-related situations feel most threatening or difficult, while showing that fear of technology is one part of the broader pattern.

Self-report results may shift with current stress, recent experiences, privacy concerns, and self-awareness. Interpret the pattern alongside the respondent’s circumstances, especially when technology-related worries affect work, relationships, or everyday functioning.
