PERSONALITY & INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
Extraversion
People who are extraverted are gregarious, talkative, and cheerful.
They tend to use Facebook or any other social media as a tool to communicate and socialize.
Predicted that extraversion would be positively associated with updating about social activities.
Neuroticism
Is characterized by anxiety and sensitivity to threat.
Neurotic individuals may use Facebook or any other social media to seek the attention and social support that may be missing from their lives offline.
Neuroticism is positively associated with frequency of social media use, the use of Facebook for social purposes (Hughes, Rowe, Batey, & Lee, 2012), and engaging in emotional disclosure on Facebook, such as venting about personal dramas.
Their willingness to diclose about personal topics led us to predict that neuroticism would be positively associated with updating about close relationship (romantic partners or children), and the selection of these topics would be motivated by their use of Facebook for validation and self-expression.
Agreeableness
Tend to be cooperative, helpful, and interpersonally successful.
Agreeableness is positively associated with posting on Facebook to communicate and connect with others.
Negatively associated with posting to seek attention or to badmouth others.
The interpersonal focus of agreeable people and their use of Facebook for communication may inspire more frequent updates about their social activities and significant relationships.
Conscientiousness
Describes people who are organized, responsible, and hard-working.
They tend to use Facebook less frequently than people who are lower in conscientious but when they do use it, conscientious individuals are diligent and discreet : they have more Facebook friends
They avoid badmouthing people and they are less likely to post on Facebook to seek attention or acceptance
Thus, predicted that conscientiousness would be positively associated with updating about inoffensive, "safe" topics, which would be mediated by the lower tendency of using Facebook or any other social media for validation.
Openness to experience
Tend to be creative, intellectual, and curious.
Openness is positively associated with frequency of social media use and with using Facebook for finding and disseminating information, but not for socializing
Predicted that openness would be positively associated with updating about intellectual topics and that this association would be mediated by the use of Facebook for sharing information
