Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a six-week computer literacy course would benefit a group of fourteen men participating in a residency program at a local homeless shelter. We hypothesized that computer literacy would increase self-esteem, perceived social support and control while decreasing depression. Measures of self-esteem, non-clinical depression, perceived social support, and perceived control were administered before and after the program. Results indicated that computer literacy increases perceived control. Perceptions of self-esteem also increased before and after the program.
