Students Facebook use : is it about personality? (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan personlighetsdimensionerna enligt Big Five och högskolestudenters Facebookanvändande. Studien undersöker också hur sambanden ser ut mellan de olika personlighetsdimensionerna. Denna studie var en kvantitativ undersökning i enkätform där ett frågeformulär uppdelat i två delar användes. Studenter på en högskola i Västra Götaland deltog i undersökningen. Slutsatsen av studien var att det enbart fanns ett signifikant positivt samband mellan personlighetsdimension och Facebookanvändande och detta var mellan personlighetsdimensionen Extraversion och antal vänner. Flest personer uppvisade starkast drag ifrån personlighetsdimensionen Agreeableness och de personlighetsdimensioner som korrelerade starkast var Extraversion och Neuroticism där det fanns ett negativt samband, dvs ju högre värden en individ har på den ena dimensionen desto lägre värden tenderar individer att ha på den andra.
