当男人和女人在面对面和通过电话保持个人关系时发现的性别差异在他们使用电子邮件时也会出现吗？或者，电子邮件是否改变了这些互动方式？作者探讨了女性和男性通过电子邮件保持的关系类型，他们在本地和远程使用电子邮件的差异，以及他们发送的信息内容的差异。调查结果是基于四年期间收集的定性和定量数据。这些数据表明，使用电子蜗牛与亲戚和朋友交流复制了先前存在的性别差异。与男性相比，女性发现与朋友和家人的电子邮件联系更令人满意。女性比男性更倾向于通过电子邮件来维持亲属关系。她们比男性更喜欢用电子邮件与远方的人保持联系。女性发送给远方的人的信息更多地充满了个人内容，并且更有可能以激烈的方式进行交流。女性的表达方式与电子美甲的特点之间的契合似乎使女性特别容易扩大她们遥远的社交网络。
Do the gender differences found when men and women maintain personal relationships in person and on the phone also emerge when they use electronic mail? Alternately, does e-mail change these ways of interacting? The authors explore the types of relationships women and men maintain by e-mail, differences in their e-mail use locally and at a distance, and differences in the contents of messages they send. The findings are based on qualitative and quantitative data collected during a 4-year period. These data suggest that using e-snail to communicate with relatives and friends replicates preexisting gender differences. Compared to men, women find e-mail contact with friends and family more gratifying. Women are more likely than rnen to maintain kin relationships by e-mail. They are more likely than men to use e-mail to keep in touch with people who lire far away. Women's messages sent to people far array are more filled with personal content and are more likely to be exchanged in intense burst. The fit between women's expressive styles and the features of e-rnail seems to be making it especially easy for women to expand their distant social networks.
