Abstract This study examined gender differences in internet experience and internet attitudes among 323 Indian College students (44.9% males, 53.9% females) from three colleges in Mumbai. Surveys aimed at internet experience and attitudes towards the internet (Internet Attitude Scale; Tsai, Lin, & Tsai, 2001) were administered to the participants. The results indicated that in general, students with greater internet experience (4 years or more) tended to have more positive internet attitudes. Females tended to have greater perceived usefulness of the internet than males, whereas males tended to have greater perceived control and affection of the internet. Internet experience was found to be a significant predictor of internet attitudes for all three subscales of the Internet Attitude Scale. Implications of the results are discussed.
