How extroverted is honey.bunny77@hotmail.de? Inferring personality from e-mail addresses - Пошук Google: Abstract

Computer mediated communication (CMC) plays a rapidly growing role in our social lives. Within this domain, e-mail

addresses represent the thinnest slice of information that people receive from one another. Using 599 e-mail addresses of

young adults, their self-reported personality scores and the personality judgments of 100 independent observers, it was

shown that personality impressions based solely on e-mail addresses were consensually shared by observers. Moreover,

these impressions contained some degree of validity. This was true for neuroticism, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness,

and narcissism but not for extraversion. Level of accuracy was explained using lens model analyses: Lay observers

made broad use of perceivable e-mail address features in their personality judgments, features were slightly valid and

observers were sensitive to subtle differences in validity between cues. Altogether, even the thinnest slice of CMC—the mere

e-mail address—contains valid information
