Sažetak
The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between self-ratings of personality and expert observers’ ratings of personality based on Facebook profiles of target persons. The self-rating sample consisted of 177 participants with active Facebook profiles between March and June 2014. Expert observers were students in the final year of masters’ course in psychology with training in personality psychology. Personality traits from the Big-Five model were assessed by the IPIP50 (Goldberg, 1999 ; Mlačić & Goldberg, 2007) while Facebook usage was assessed by the Questionnaire of Facebook use (Ross et al., 2009). Observers’ ratings of personality were based on data from Facebook profiles where each of the five personality dimensions (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability and Intellect) was briefly defined. The results showed significant relations between Facebook usage and Agreeableness and Extraversion, respectively. Observers’ personality ratings correlated significantly with self-ratings of Conscientiousness and Intellect while the ratings between observers were the highest for the dimensions of Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability.
