Today, students are expected to use internet communication technology tools, such as email, discussion groups, and the Internet, in their tertiary studies. This study examined how individual differences in personality, self-efficacy, computer attitudes, and computer anxiety are related to use of the various electronic communication tools. A total of 287 first-year psychology students participated in the survey. The survey included self-report measures of personality, computer anxiety, computer attitudes, and Internet self-efficacy, and the degree to which students use computers and the internet for learning. This paper will report the correlations among the key individual differences variables. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that Emotional Stability positively predicted computer attitudes and negatively predicted computer anxiety. Intellect was shown to negatively predict computer anxiety. A key finding of this study was that age negatively predicted use of internet communication tools for learning. Another finding of interest was that Internet self-efficacy positively predicted use of email, discussion groups, and the Internet in the learning environment. The implications of these findings are discussed
