From "kind" to "I'm a kind dude": The frequency of the use of personality-descriptive adjectives on the social media website Reddit
Personality adjectives are important in trait theories, but their significance in everyday language use is understudied. Hence, we compiled a set of 706 English adjectives previously linked to Big Five traits and analysed their frequency of occurrence in social media using the dataset PANDORA, which contains 14 million sentences from Reddit. The analysis is funnelled and proceeds in three stages, i.e., we count the occurrence of 1) the personality adjective alone (e.g., kind) ; 2) bigrams of adjectives and the noun "person" or its equivalent substitutions (e.g., kind dude) ; 3) the adjectives in self-descriptive sentences (e.g., I'm a kind dude.). Almost 1/4 of the adjectives were unmentioned and frequencies of occurrences were uneven between traits and between their positive and negative poles. We take a closer look at the least (e.g., uninquisitive, self-pitying) and most frequently used adjectives (e.g., simple, smart) and discuss the opportunities and challenges of analysing online language.
