The charts compare the proportion of time that male and female students allocate to five different types of websites.
Overall, male students spent the most of their time on websites about sports, studying, a nd news, while their female counterparts devoted most of their time to those about study and shopping. Shopping and the category labelled as “others” were the least visited sites among male students; their opposite gender also spent the least time on news, which was closely followed by websites about sport and the category called “others”, showing identical figures.
With respect to the websites that are popular among female students, they spent almost half (45%) of their time on websites about studying, in contrast to 30% of time spent by their male counterparts. The time devoted to websites about shopping was twice as much as the categories considered as “others” and sport, at 20%. Female students set aside 15% of their time to news, which was slightly higher among male students, at 20%. Female students allocated only 10% of their time to sport-oriented websites, compared with an exceeding 35% of that by male students. Female and male students showed somewhat similar figures in terms of the category referred to as “others”, with both spending 10% of their time on such websites. Most notably, male students devoted the least time to shopping-based websites, at a mere 5%.
