Evidence On Psychometric Properties Of Scales Assessing Information Related Anxieties: A Systematic Review, Muhammad Asif Naveed, Mumtaz Ali Anwar

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This systematic review examined the evidence of psychometric properties of scales available in studies reporting surveys measuring information related anxieties such as library anxiety, information seeking anxiety, and information anxiety.

Given the complexity of these social and behavioral phenomena, heterogeneity is likely to exist in the samples used in IS studies.

We describe why unobserved heterogeneity threatens different …
