Abstract
Technology has played a significant role in improving users’ confidence and
giving them power of expression. This is true of all factions of society;
however, the students especially the female students have utilized the present
day technology in a much better way. The present research has attempted to
find the answer to the question ‘Does texting give more power of expression
to male and female students than they get in Face-to-face Communication?’
To find the answer to this question, the students at under-graduate, graduate
and post-graduate levels were involved as participants. The data have been
collected using questionnaire from two educational institutes in Multan. The
participant students were asked to give their opinion whether they felt more
empowered while communicating in text messaging as compared to the Faceto-face (FTF) communication. The collected data have been analyzed
quantitatively applying Chi-Square test in SPSS-15. The quantitative method
of analyses provided objective foundation for the results and discussion. The
finding has revealed that text messaging plays a vital role in enhancing
communicative confidence. It has also been found that gender discrimination
is lessened to a greater degree in the use of text messaging as compared to
the face-to-face communication.
