Abstract

Expressiveness has been a popular area of research for gender studies. While females are stereotyped as being more emotionally expressive than men, men appear to beexpressive when it comes to stating one's opinions regarding important or controversial events. Given the widespread use of social media platforms, people now have more opportunities to learn about and discuss a variety of topics. To investigate gender differences in expressing thoughts in cyberspace and the real world, we analyzed questionnaire data from 82 adolescent participants and discovered that both genders prefer expressing their views in the real world rather than online, and there is no significant gender difference in one's tendency to voice their viewpoints based on self-report, although females are believed to be more enthusiastic towards expressing opinions based on participant's evaluation of their friends' behavior.
