“…Our observation that women talk more about their feelings and emotions -for example, in relation to topics such as love affairs and marriage -corroborates Loewenstine, Ponticos, and Paludi's (1982) finding that female graffiti often contains "advice to the love-forlorn and [on] existential issues about life, marriage, and happiness" (p. 308). Similarly, our findings support studies by Dindia and Allen (1992), Goldsmith and Dun (1997), Green (2003), and Leong (2016) which revealed that female graffiti tends to disclose more personal information and express more emotion. They also support Trahan's (2011) claim that male graffiti is generally impassive and lacking in emotion when compared to female graffiti.…”
