One hundred and forty-five undergraduate students at a large southwestern university completed a questionnaire designed to assess college students' computer-mediated communication behaviors. Findings revealed that males and females have different perceptions and usages concerning their computer-mediated communication behaviors when e-mailing and using the Internet. Females reported that they were more likely to check their e-mail and use shorthand in e-mails directed to a superior (such as a boss or professor) compared to males. At the same time, males reported that they were more likely than females to use emoticons regularly in e-mails and preferred e-mailing when they couldn't meet someone in person. Results indicated that college students have specific communication behaviors when communicating via the Internet.
