Details A number of social networking services (SNSs) have become increasingly popular in recent years, as characterized by the growing number of their users and the deepening penetration of their services. As the number of users increases, the variety of user profiles, serving as a reflection of the real world, also increases. Psychological aspects must be taken into account to better understand the behaviors of SNS users. This study investigated the relationships between personality traits and SNS usage, and the results of a preliminary survey using the Big Five model of personality traits are reported herein.
