Relationship between personality traits and facebook addiction: A meta-analysis
Abstract
Personality traits are important factors in determining online behaviors. Especially personality traits are linked with users' behavior on Facebook. Despite the substantial quantity of studies conducted on the relationship between personality factors and Facebook addiction, researchers have yet to reach an agreement. This study sought to examine the relationship between personality traits and Facebook addiction. In this meta-analysis study, agreeableness, openness to experience and conscientiousness were negatively related to Facebook addiction. Loneliness, narcissism, impulsivity and shyness were significantly correlated with Facebook addiction. Meta analysis also found that geographical location, personality scales, Facebook addiction scales, publication status moderated the link between personality variables and Facebook addiction. The limitations and future directions are discussed.
Keywords: Big five personality traits; Facebook addiction; Impulsivity; Loneliness; Narcissism; Shyness.
