Facebook 正迅速成为最受欢迎的社交沟通工具之一。然而，Facebook与其他社交网站有所不同，它呈现出从线下到线上的趋势；也就是说，大多数 Facebook 好友是在线下认识的，然后再添加。本研究调查了人格五因素模型与 Facebook 使用的关系。尽管存在一些关于外向性和开放性体验的预期趋势，但结果表明，人格因素的影响力并不像以前的文献所暗示的那么大。结果还表明，沟通的动机对 Facebook 的使用有影响。有人建议，不同的动机可能会影响使用 Facebook 等工具的决定，特别是在考虑 Facebook 的个别功能时。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Facebook is quickly becoming one of the most popular tools for social communication. However, Facebook is somewhat different from other Social Networking Sites as it demonstrates an offline-to-online trend; that is, the majority of Facebook Friends are met offline and then added later. The present research investigated how the Five-Factor Model of personality relates to Facebook use. Despite some expected trends regarding Extraversion and Openness to Experience, results indicated that personality factors were not as influential as previous literature would suggest. The results also indicated that a motivation to communicate was influential in terms of Facebook use. It is suggested that different motivations may be influential in the decision to use tools such as Facebook, especially when individual functions of Facebook are being considered.
