In this paper, we address the issue of how emotional stability affects social relationships in Twitter. In particular we focus our study on users’ communicative interactions, identified by the symbol “@”. We collected a corpus of about 200000 Twitter posts and we annotated it with our personality recognition system. This system exploits linguistic features, such as punctuation and emoticons, an...

A taxonomy of personality-relevant situations will provide a valuable complement to the taxonomy of personality attributes. To identify some of the most important modifying factors, we asked laypersons what modifies expression of their own traits. Spontaneously generated situation descriptors were elicited from 77 university students, leading to over 7,000 reports of situations. We determined t...

Context: Prior research has established that a small proportion of individuals dominate team communication during global software development. It is not known, however, how these members’ contributions affect their teams’ knowledge diffusion process, or whether their personality profiles are responsible for their dominant presence. Objective: We set out to address this gap through the study of ...

Received Sep 24, 2017 Revised Dec 27, 2017 Accepted Jan 16, 2018 Predicting personality generally involves personal interpretations of a person which makes the current methods for personality prediction process less adequate, timely and tedious. Thus, a simple yet efficient alternative method is proposed in this project for detecting iris positions which are used in Neuro-Linguistic Programming...

The study of individual differences in cognitive abilities and personality traits has the potential to inform our understanding of how the processing mechanisms underlying different behaviors are organized. In the current set of studies, we applied an individual-differences approach to the study of sources of variation in individuals’ personality traits, cognitive control, and linguistic ambigu...

The present study examines the personalities and psychological states of the 2004 candidates for U.S. president and vice president through their use of words. The transcripts of 271 televised interviews, press conferences, and campaign debates of John Kerry, John Edwards, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney between January 4 and November 3, 2004 were analyzed using a computerized text analysis prog...

The style in which a text is written re ects an array of meta-information concerning the text (e.g., topic, register, genre) and its author (e.g., gender, region, age, personality). The eld of stylometry addresses these aspects of style. A successful methodology, borrowed from text categorisation research, takes a two-stage approach which (i) achieves automatic selection of features with high p...

We investigated Gardner's “Theory of Multiple Intelligences” in a sample of 200 adults. For each of the hypothesized eight “intelligence” domains–Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Naturalistic–we selected two tests based on Gardner's description of its content. Factor analysis revealed a large g factor having substantial loadin...

Speech can be described as an act of producing voice through the use of the vocal folds and vocal apparatus to create a linguistic act for conveying intended information. Speech is a subtle and rich communication that transfers not only the linguistic information, but also information about the personality and the emotional state of the speaker. The objective of this study is to analyse the eff...

Although it is habitual to measure human perceptions with quite accurate instruments, perceptions are characterized by uncertainty and fuzziness. Furthermore, variations in individual perceptions and personality mean that the same words can indicate very different perceptions. In this context, the fuzzy linguistic approach seems to be an appropriate framework for modeling information. In this p...
