对数字鸿沟现象的研究产生了对立的理论框架。本研究坑消失的数字鸿沟的方法对新兴的数字差异化的方法和实证检验他们的预测的有效性，青少年的互联网使用和他们的倾向无处不在的互联网。对749名荷兰13至18岁青少年的调查进行的多变量分析表明，青少年在获得社会经济和认知资源方面的不平等影响了他们将互联网作为信息和娱乐媒介的使用。与社会经济和认知资源较少的同龄人相比，具有更多社会经济和认知资源的青少年更频繁地使用互联网获取信息，而较少用于娱乐。我们发现了一个类似的模式，关于青少年的倾向，无处不在的互联网。研究结果初步表明，新兴的数字分化的方法更充分地描述了目前的数字鸿沟现象比数字鸿沟消失的方法。(c)2006 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Research on digital divide phenomena has produced opposing theoretical frameworks. This study pits the disappearing digital divide approach against the emerging digital differentiation approach and empirically tests the validity of their predictions regarding adolescents' internet use and their tendency towards ubiquitous internetting. Multivariate analyses of a survey of 749 Dutch adolescents aged 13-18 showed that adolescents' unequal access to socio-economic and cognitive resources shaped their use of the internet as an information and an entertainment medium. Adolescents with greater socio-economic and cognitive resources used the internet more frequently for information and less often for entertainment than their peers with fewer socio-economic and cognitive resources. We found a similar pattern regarding adolescents' tendency towards ubiquitous internetting. The findings tentatively suggest that the emerging digital differentiation approach describes current digital divide phenomena more adequately than the disappearing digital divide approach.
