社交网站（SNS）正迅速成为社交互动和信息交流的最流行工具之一。先前的研究表明，用户的个性和SNS使用之间的关系。使用一般人群样本（N = 300），本研究进一步研究的人格相关性（神经质，外向性，开放性的经验，obeseableness，尽责性，社交性和需要认知）的社会和信息使用的两个最大的SNS：Facebook和Twitter的。年龄和性别也进行了检查。结果表明，个性与在线社交和信息寻求/交流有关，尽管不像以前的一些研究所建议的那样有影响力。此外，对Facebook或Twitter的偏好与个性差异有关。研究结果揭示了个性与Facebook和Twitter使用之间的差异关系。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Social networking sites (SNS) are quickly becoming one of the most popular tools for social interaction and information exchange. Previous research has shown a relationship between users' personality and SNS use. Using a general population sample (N = 300), this study furthers such investigations by examining the personality correlates (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness-to-Experience, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Sociability and Need-for-Cognition) of social and informational use of the two largest SNS: Facebook and Twitter. Age and Gender were also examined. Results showed that personality was related to online socialising and information seeking/exchange, though not as influential as some previous research has suggested. In addition, a preference for Facebook or Twitter was associated with differences in personality. The results reveal differential relationships between personality and Facebook and Twitter usage.
