Abstract This study investigated students’ Internet attitudes and feelings of connectedness in their graduate programs using a quantitative survey design approach. Two modified instruments were administered to students in graduate programs at a small, land-grant university. One hundred forty-three graduate students completed the online survey. Findings indicate participants had moderately positive Internet attitudes, but their feelings of connectedness overall were mixed. Internet attitudes did not impact connectedness; however, general Internet use impacted feelings of comfort and facilitation. Answers to open-ended questions showed that the use of a variety of tools made participants feel more connected to others. Participants shared how their attitudes about Internet use influenced their feelings of connectedness. Gender and age did not yield significant differences in responses. A significant difference between academic programs pertaining to connectedness was found. The findings are discussed in the context of the literature.

研究生网络态度及其关联感调查

摘要 本研究使用定量调查设计方法调查了学生在研究生课程中的互联网态度和联系感受。一所小型赠地大学的研究生课程的学生使用了两种修改过的仪器。143 名研究生完成了在线调查。调查结果表明，参与者对互联网的态度较为积极，但他们的整体连通性感觉参差不齐。互联网态度并未影响连通性；然而，一般的互联网使用会影响舒适感和便利感。对开放式问题的回答表明，使用各种工具使参与者感觉与他人的联系更加紧密。参与者分享了他们对互联网使用的态度如何影响他们的联系感。性别和年龄在反应中没有产生显着差异。发现与连通性有关的学术课程之间存在显着差异。研究结果在文献的背景下进行了讨论。
