“…16P was employed due to its quality, focus on the scientific foundations for the test, availability, and user-friendliness. The 16P form was used in other studies, such as personality profiling with social media posts [40], investigation of links between personality and personal abilities [41], or personality classification modelling [42].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way people use social media in a particular manner. The paper aims to investigate the impact of the pandemic on the use of social media, taking into account the sex and personality types of users in Poland. The survey involved 469 active users of social media. The data were analysed with statistical methods. A significant part of the respondents believed that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the way they used social media. They pointed out that the most common social media use drivers were immediate needs, often of pragmatic nature, such as rapid communication and exchange of information, and social needs. Among the survey population, it was the women who were more active on social media, particularly regarding Instagram. They were also more active on Pinterest and Snapchat. Men were more active on YouTube. Extraverts published more often on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or Pinterest by a wide margin. They were also more active in general and more often judged social media content. The respondents indicated social platforms they believed would gain or lose popularity in the nearest future. The overall conclusion is that the pandemic may be a good time to launch new social platforms or promote less popular ones with new functionalities and narrow targets.

“…16P was selected due to its research value, availability, and respondent-friendliness (which is important, as it motivates completing the test). The 16P form was used in other studies, such as personality profiling with SM posts [60], research on the impact of sex and personality on SM use during the pandemic [4], investigation of links between personality and personal abilities [61], or personality classification modelling [62].…”

Content published in social media (SM) can be motivating. It can induce action, stimulate demand, and shape opinions. On the other hand, it can demotivate, cause helplessness, or overwhelm with information. Still, the impact of SM is not always the same. The paper aims to analyse the relations between sex, personality, and the way social media is used and motivation to take specific actions. The conclusions are founded on a survey (n = 462). The data were analysed with statistical methods. The study revealed that the use of SM has a significant impact on the motivation to act. Browsing through descriptions and photographs of various achievements posted by others in SM increased the intrinsic motivation of the respondents. Positive comments and emojis had a similar effect. Moreover, women and extraverts noted a significantly greater impact of SM on their intrinsic motivation concerning health and beauty effort, travel, hobby, and public expression of opinions than men and introverts. The results can be useful to recruiters. Extravert women that are open to cooperation, thorough, and well-organised are more likely to be active in SM.

“…Productivity and software quality in software engineering is reported to be largely impacted by and tightly linked to the motivation of software engineers (Hall, Jagielska and Baddoo, 2007;Asghar and Usman, 2013;França, Sharp and da Silva, 2014;Marques et al, 2017;Perez-Gonzalez et al, 2019). While there is increasing awareness amongst the academic community that motivation is a critical factor, the motivation of software engineers continues to be difficult to understand and manage (Beecham et al, 2007;França and da Silva, 2010;França et al, 2011França et al, , 2014França, Carneiro and Da Silva, 2012;Verner et al, 2014;Beecham and Noll, 2015;Franca, Da Silva and Sharp, 2018;Facey-Shaw, Specht and Bartley-Bryan, 2019).…”
