dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to observe if any significant correlations exist between demographic characteristics and cyberloafing attitudes, as well as cyberloafing behaviors among undergraduate students. No significant correlations were found in regards to age. Significant results were found in regards to gender (women cyberloafed significantly more than men), as well as perceptions of societal norms (the more students perceived cyberloafing as a societal norm, the more likely they were to view cyberloafing as acceptable). Theoretical implications of these results are discussed.
