Welcome!

This blog is centered around personality and the Internet. More specifically, does a person’s personality affect the way they use the Internet? Personality is composed of a stable pattern of thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

In this case, personality will be broken down into the Big Five personality traits from the five-factor model of personality. These personality traits (also known as OCEAN) are:

Openness

Conscientiousness

Extraversion

Agreeableness

Neuroticism

Each trait exists on a spectrum. For example, a person can be high in openness, low in openness, average in openness, or pretty much anywhere else on that spectrum. These traits can relate to many aspects of life, and in this case: the Internet!

The Big Five will each get their own post detailing a summary of dozens of research articles on how personality affects use of the Internet relating to three categories: general Internet use, social media use, and problematic Internet use. Each of these categories will also have its own post combining all of the findings for each of the traits for that category. Since the Internet is constantly and rapidly changing, it’s difficult to assess whether these data are still accurate.

Additionally, the findings will be organized in lists of “most likely” and “least likely” to use the Internet in a certain way. Unless stated otherwise, the statement is about an individual high in the specified trait compared to an individual low in the trait.

Read on for an overview of each of the five traits!

Openness

Openness is short for “openness to experience”. This trait involves the tendency to try new things, be vulnerable, and think in abstract or complex ways. This is related to a person’s curiosity, creativity, risk-taking, and preference for variety and new experiences.

Individuals high in openness (or open individuals) are characterized by their appreciation for alternative ideas and perspectives and sense of adventure. They are more likely to enjoy the arts, playing with ideas, discovering novel experiences, and are more likely to be aware of their emotions and express them straightforwardly.

Some other personality descriptors that fall under this category:

Adventurous

Clever

Creative

Curious

Daring

Imaginative

Insightful

Intellectual

Original

Perceptive

Individuals low in openness are characterized by their tendency to stick to their habits and avoid new experiences out of a preference for what they’re more familiar with. They are more likely to be practical, conventional, and focused on the concrete and enjoy more common interests and arts and entertainment that are less abstract.

Conscientiousness

Conscientiousness is a trait that involves patterns and abilities associated with controlling impulses, acting in socially appropriate and acceptable ways, and engaging in goal-seeking behaviors. This is related to a person’s ability to exercise self-discipline and control in order to pursue their goals.

Extraversion

Extraversion is a trait that involves preferences for interacting in social situations and whether energy is drawn from being with people or being alone. This relates to a person’s tendency to seek stimulation, especially in the form of attention from other people.

Individuals high in extraversion (or extraverts) are characterized by their sociability and power to gain energy from large groups of people. They are more likely to be outgoing, chatty, and they tend to be assertive and cheerful in their social interactions.

Some other personality descriptors that fall under this category:

Energetic

Friendly

Agreeableness

Agreeableness is a trait that involves a person’s warmth and kindness. This relates to the way they get along with and interact with others and their tendency to put others first.
