dc.description.abstract	This paper describes a study of changes in attitude toward computers exhibited by novice student users during a first course in business computing. Several dimensions of attitude were established by factor analysis. Student attitudes were assessed on starting the course, shortly after their first experience with "hands-on" computing and on course completion. Important components of attitude changed negatively on initial contact with computer systems, even with a "user-friendly" decision support system. Further course work, including exposure to conventional programming languages, induced more negative changes	en
