Abstract
Two studies explored personality perception following Internet-mediated chat. First, participants completed a measure of the Five Factor Model (FFM), interacted online in stranger-dyads, and then rated each other’s traits. The results showed low correspondence between self-ratings and the perceptions of online partners. Internet-veterans showed no personality perception superiority over Internet-novices, and an assumed similarity effect was observed for Extraversion. In the second study, participants completed a measure of the FFM and participated in a group chat session. Research assistants coded verbal behaviors for each chat transcript. Raters read the chat transcripts and rated the traits of the participants. Verbal behaviors were typically uncorrelated with the self-ratings of personality, but showed substantial correlations with other-ratings of personality. Self–other correlations were insignificant.
