Changes in personality tend to be intertwined with life events (e.g., family violence [FV]). This study aimed to examine the personality changes before and after an FV incident using Weibo data. Samples were selected from 1.16 million Weibo users in China who had posted their own FV experience as victims. We used Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) to extract the linguistic features of these unstructured texts as the scores of participants' personality. We built prediction models to measure and compare personality differences between the victim group and control group in Sample 1; and personality changes between the victim group and control group before and after an FV incident in Sample 2. Results showed that the victims' neuroticism increased and conscientiousness decreased after experiencing FV. At the same time, their agreeableness and openness levels were lower than those of the control group. Implications and limitations are also discussed.
人格变化往往与生活事件交织在一起（例如，家庭暴力[FV]）。本研究旨在使用微博数据研究在家庭暴力事件前后的人格变化。样本选自在中国发布过自己作为受害者的家庭暴力经历的 116 万微博用户。我们使用语言调查和词汇计数（LIWC）从这些非结构化文本中提取语言特征，作为参与者人格的分数。我们建立预测模型来衡量和比较样本 1 中受害者组和对照组之间的人格差异；以及样本 2 中受害者组和对照组在家庭暴力事件前后的人格变化。结果表明，受害者在经历家庭暴力后神经质增加，尽责性降低。同时，他们的宜人性和开放性水平低于对照组。还讨论了其意义和局限性。
