Review of the book From Fear to Flow: Personality and information
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through the theoretical lens of Costa and McCrae's 5-factor model of personality, Heinström provides an exploration of the research on the influence of personality on information seeking and use. She successfully brings together research from a variety of domains with an emphasis on psychology and social psychology. The book places equal emphasis on describing personality traits and, as it does, the information behaviors relevant to each trait. The works cited from information behavior research are not treated comprehensively, but rather selectively to illustrate the influence of particular personality trait associated with specific information behaviors.
