Abstract. Objective: This study investigates gender differences in various dimensions of digital literacy, including ethical responsibility, general knowledge and functional skills, daily usage, professional production, privacy and security, and social dimensions. Method: We employed a quantitative approach. We used independent samples t-tests to analyze survey data collected from 255 participants, divided into male (m =96) and female (f = 159) groups. The survey included questions across multiple digital literacy dimensions, and the data were assessed for differences in means between genders. Results: The analysis revealed significant gender differences in several dimensions. Specifically, males scored higher in general knowledge and functional skills, as well as in professional production and privacy and security aspects. Females demonstrated higher scores in ethical responsibility and daily usage dimensions. However, no significant differences were observed in the social dimension of digital literacy. Conclusion: The study highlights notable gender-based variations in digital literacy, suggesting that males and females engage differently with digital tools and platforms. with digital tools and platforms differently. These findings have implications for targeted digital literacy programs and educational interventions designed to address specific needs and improve overall digital competency across genders.
