Abstract
Computer anxiety especially in first-year university students is common and continues to be a significant issue as it manifests itself in a number of negative emotions with significant detrimental impact to students. This is especially true in the context where students use computers for course work – online learning. Research work addressing the effect of computer/Internet experience on anxiety as it differs across cultures is relatively scarce. In this study, we investigate online learning anxiety and how it is impacted by computer and the internet experience, across two cultures – Middle Eastern and Wester. A survey methodology approach was used for the capture of data and analysis. We found that Anxiety using computers for learning still exists in today’s time across both cultures, however the type of anxiety differs between them. At the same time computer/Internet experience was found to impact anxiety in English student group while amount of computer usage was found to influence anxiety in the ME group. Conclusions, limitations and recommendations for furture research are provided.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
