这项研究的目的是了解种族和性别是否会影响美国大学生的互联网使用。对美国40所高等教育机构的大学生进行了一项调查，沿着的是对美国中西部几所大学的观察和采访。为了与美国一般人口进行比较，进行了全国范围的电话调查。这项研究提供了男女大学生使用互联网的新数据，以及跨种族使用互联网的趋势。关于非白人西班牙裔大学生互联网用户的数据提供了对互联网使用的深入了解，这一群体在关于大学生和互联网使用的文献中似乎代表性不足。数据分析呈现出一幅复杂的画面，显示出沿着性别界线的不同互联网使用情况，这一点与现有的学术文献大体一致。基于种族的差别使用有点复杂。当被调查者按性别分组时，白色非西班牙裔大学生、西班牙裔大学生和黑人非西班牙裔大学生之间出现了更强烈的对比。
The goal of this study was to learn about whether race and gender make a difference in Internet use among U.S. college students. A survey of college students at 40 U.S. higher education institutions was conducted, along with observations and interviews at several Midwestern U.S. universities. For comparison to the general U.S. population a nationwide telephone survey was undertaken. The study presents new data on Internet use among male and female college students, as well as trends in use across racial lines. Data on non-White Hispanic college student users of the Internet provides insight into Internet use among a group that appears to be underrepresented in the literature on college students and Internet use. The data analysis presents a complex picture of differential Internet use along gender lines, one that is generally consistent with the existing scholarly literature. Differential use based on race is a bit more complex. Stronger points of contrast emerge amongst White non-Hispanic, Hispanic, and Black non-Hispanic college students than they do when the respondents are grouped by gender.
