GIACOMETTI-ROCHA, Erika  and  MILL, Daniel. Analysing gender, education and technologies regarding adolescents preferences and perception while accessing the Internet. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.569-587. ISSN 1808-4281.

In analysis of the correlation of the intensive use of the Internet in computers, laptops, tablets, cell phones, it was verified that there was no relation between using the Internet intensely and being male or female. However, in the responses on content access, there was a significant difference between the genders. Overall, adolescent females access more beauty content and less technology in frequencies with values inversely proportional to that of males of the same age but more girls access the Internet to study. Under Bourdieu's reading, we tried to explain this difference, although it was not possible to point out the path taken by adolescents to arrive at preferences based on the available data. However, when we question about who is best at dealing with technologies, the expression of opinions has been contradictory to perceptions of prejudice. There was indicative of negative female self-perception in these responses that may explain the escape of women from the area of STEM area. Ultimately, there is a way for educators and researchers to think about this reproduction of gender-based social structure manifested in the subjects' choices when using the Internet.
