This study investigates the role of personality factors as predictors of Facebook usage. Data concerning Facebook usage and personality factors from 654 Facebook users were gathered using a web survey. Using path analysis, the results showed Openness was a predictor of Facebook early adoption, Conscientiousness with sparing use, Extraversion with long sessions and abundant friendships, and Neuroticism with high frequency of sessions. The possible role of Agreeableness in predicting low session frequency and friendships needs further validation.
本研究调查了人格因素作为脸书使用预测指标的作用。通过网络调查收集了654名脸书用户的脸书使用情况和人格因素数据。运用路径分析，结果显示开放性是脸书早期采用的预测指标，尽责性与适度使用相关，外向性与长时间使用及丰富的好友关系相关，神经质与高使用频率相关。宜人性在预测低使用频率和好友关系方面的潜在作用需要进一步验证。
