Gender has now ceased to influence Internet access and frequency of use, especially among youths. However, self-efficacy in digital skills, content production and Internet uses are still associated with gender. For that reason, this article uses data from a survey conducted in a university in Northern Italy to explore if male and female undergraduates differ in their activities of online consumption and content production and whether self-efficacy could explain the differences.
L’appartenenza di genere non influenza più accesso e frequenza d’uso di internet, soprattutto tra i giovani. Tuttavia altri aspetti, come la fiducia nelle proprie competenze digitali, la produzione di contenuti e gli usi, sono ancora correlati al genere. Partendo da tale presupposto, l’articolo analizza un questionario effettuato in un’università del nord Italia ed esamina se gli studenti e le studentesse differiscono negli stili d’uso della rete, sia di consumo che di produzione di contenuti, e se la sicurezza nelle proprie competenze può spiegare le differenze.

Abstract
Gender has now ceased to influence Internet access and frequency of use, especially among youths. However, self-efficacy in digital skills, content production and Internet uses are still associated with gender. For that reason, this article uses data from a survey conducted in a university in Northern Italy to explore if male and female undergraduates differ in their activities of online consumption and content production and whether self-efficacy could explain the differences.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
