Ten-year view of the cell probably has not surprised anyone. The kids are increasingly using mobile phones to contact their parents, send a message to my friend in class or just to play or listen to music. Recent studies confirm our believe that boys and girls in different ways using the cell. Sheila Cotten - American sociologist from the University of Alabama at Birmingham is the author of the study, which states that no longer can be seen in different customs and habits and use of cells.a Research shows that boys a lot more use of different features and capabilities offered by a modern telephone. Much more often via e-mail check or reproduce video and record videos - of which, unfortunately, from time to time to learn, when the media reveal another case of some videos recorded by the discredited elementary and middle school students. Returning to the main theme - Sheila Cotton cautions against drawing conclusions that the phones be prepared on behalf of women should have a smaller number of applications and possible to use the services, and so it is not used by female consumers. Researchers stress that the different use of the equipment is not the result of some innate predisposition but is the result of a specific education. Since childhood sexual socialization of boys and girls prepare to occupy different roles in society. It is expected that more boys' interest in technology and science. Encouraged to play toys, explore their options. While a similar lack of emphasis on girls. No wonder then that the company engaged in the production of telecommunications equipment does not tempt women with excellent telephone technical parameters but use a simple stereotype - the subject of more pink, shiny and subtle, that probably more interest in girls. Professor Cotten believes that boys are taught the use of technical innovations in a more creative and courageous manner. As a result, develop in them the specific skills that they have no chance to thrive in girls. Researcher argues that if they are not as much as boys interested in the use of all possibilities of modern technology, it is likely that in the future will not commence studies courses in technical, mathematical or computer. The study involved almost 1,000 students aged 11 to 13 years. Children were asked to assess the 5 point scale, how often you use a particular service on your mobile phone. Zero meant - "never" and five - "several times a day." The boys in almost all categories received higher scores than girls. At some point the researchers managed to overcome one of the sexual stereotypes. It appeared that the girl was not more, gossip than boys. Both sex talk and sms-shots as often - about 2 hours a day. |
