Less is more when rating extraversion: Behavioral cues and interpersonal perceptions on the platform of facebook.

Abstract: We explore how specific behaviors on Facebook inform interpersonal perceptions. We conducted two studies that explored the impact of linguistic (Study 1) and emotional cues (Study 2) on interpersonal perceptions of a fictitious target. In both studies, a between-participants design was used, whereby participants were randomly allocated to one of three cue conditions, were presented with a Facebook profile that varied in the respective cue usage, and were asked to provide personality perceptions.

“…We wanted to limit the impact of other information readily available on OSNs (e.g., profiles, pictures, and demographics). This decision is in line with prior research investigating the effects of minimal information on OSNs (e.g., Austin et al, 2021; Kaye et al, 2020). However, it limits the current investigation because it is unclear how this extra information might impact impression formation in relation to wrongness admission on OSNs.…”

Therefore, we provided only the textual information and removed all identifying characteristics and profile information.…”

Beyond fictional characters, people can detect other's narcissism (Buffardi & Campbell, 2008) and extraversion (Kaye et al, 2020) when viewing their social media platforms such as Facebook profiles, as well as other Big Five traits when viewing others' personal websites (Vazire & Gosling, 2004).…”
