摘　　要：自20世纪90年代后期，信息技术开始被引入语言测试领域。与此同时，语言测试者越来越关注技术的使用对语言测试效度所产生的影响，以确保考试的公平公正性。作为大学英语四级网考效度研究的一部分，本文分析了影响考生对四级网考评价和考试成绩的因素。研究表明，语言水平和计算机熟悉程度对考生评价具有统计意义上的显著影响，地区经济和社会发展程度因素对考生评价的影响较小；计算机熟悉程度对网考成绩影响较大，其影响力既有统计意义上的显著性，又具有实际意义，地区经济和社会发展程度因素对网考成绩没有产生具有实际意义的影响。Information technology was introduced into the field of language testing in the late 1990s.

The analysis of the questionnaire data indicates that language proficiency and computer familiarity significantly affected test-takers＇ perception of the test; however, no statistically significant differences were identified among groups of test-takers from regions at different levels of economic and social development. The analysis of the test scores evi- dences that the effect of computer familiarity on test performance is of both statistical and practical significance. The level of regional economic and social development did not have a practically significant effect on test-takers＇ performance on the test.
