Identifying Big Five personality traits based on facial behavior analysis

Abstract

The personality assessment is in high demand in various fields and is becoming increasingly more important in practice. In recent years, with the rapid development of machine learning technology, the integration research of machine learning and psychology has become a new trend. In addition, the technology of automatic personality identification based on facial analysis has become the most advanced research direction in large-scale personality identification technology. This study proposes a method to automatically identify the Big Five personality traits by analyzing the facial movement in ordinary videos. In this study, we collected a total of 82 sample data. First, through the correlation analysis between facial features and personality scores, we found that the points from the right jawline to the chin contour showed a significant negative correlation with agreeableness. Simultaneously, we found that the movements of the left cheek's outer contour points in the high openness group were significantly higher than those in the low openness group. This study used a variety of machine learning algorithms to build the identification model on 70 key points of the face. Among them, the CatBoost regression algorithm has the best performance in the five dimensions, and the correlation coefficients between the model prediction results and the scale evaluation results are about medium correlation (0.37–0.42). Simultaneously, we executed the Split-Half reliability test, and the results showed that the reliability of the experimental method reached a high-reliability standard (0.75–0.96). The experimental results further verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the automatic assessment method of Big Five personality traits based on individual facial video analysis.

Digital Dilemma of Cyberbullying Victimization among High School Students: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Associations with Stress and Mental Well-Being

“…The multiple regression analysis identified several significant predictors of cyberbullying victimization among high school students, including the female gender, younger age, lower educational achievement, and higher daily use of the Internet. These findings are consistent with previous research that has identified demographic, academic, and internet usage factors as important predictors of cyberbullying experiences [ 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 ]. The identification of these risk factors has important implications for the development of targeted prevention and intervention strategies [ 38 , 102 ].…”

Applying explainable artificial intelligence methods to models for diagnosing personal traits and cognitive abilities by social network data

“…In recent years, several studies have applied Deep Learning methods to predict the severity of psychological traits by analyzing human behavior. Notably, corporations like Amazon and Uber have leveraged such models in their hiring processes 20 – 23 , considering candidates' behavior on social media 12 , 15 , 24 – 29 , including meta-analyses 7 , 30 , digital traces 31 – 35 , acoustic speech analysis 36 , 37 , dynamics of facial emotional expressions 38 .…”
