Hi Shrwan, I conducted such an analysis on a sample of Arab and Egyptian students. The results are published in my book "The Internet in the Arab World: Egypt and Beyond" which came out in 2007 as part of the Digital Formations series published by Peter Lang, Inc. The book is available from Amazon. Hope you find the information useful. On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 8:48 AM, Shrwan Khanal <shrwan1976@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi all I am researching on gender differences on internet use pattern, knowledge, purpose of internet use. It is a case study of University of Zambia, Zambia. The data was collected(using structured questionnaire) in last autumn among 300 students (from the internet cafe within University premise). Could someone help me identifying some of the theoretical or conceptual aspect of this kind of study. It would also be helpful if similar study was done in other developing world where internet is introduced recently.
