Question

QUESTION 4 The big-five personality model is well-validated and widely accepted by researchers and clinicians. This personality model encompasses the following five robust personality domains: (1) extraversion; (2) neuroticism; (3) openness-to-experience; (4) agreeableness; and (5) conscientiousness. However, thus far, problematic mobile phone use has not been investigated with reference to this model. In this study, we depicted the five personality domains with respect to problematic mobile phone use. In order to investigate the correlation between these predictors and problematic mobile phone use, 504 questionnaires of college students of several university campuses in Japan were analyzed. This study demonstrated that openness-to-experience has a negative correlation with problematic mobile phone use. Consistent with prior research, problematic mobile phone users were likely to be extraverts, who are social, talkative, and gregarious in nature. Problematic mobile phone users were also disinclined toward high neuroticism. In sum, this study demonstrated that problematic mobile phone use is a function of extraversion, neuroticism, openness-to-experience; however, it is not a function of agreeableness or conscientiousness. Openness to experience is positively correlated with problematic phone use. High agreeableness is associated with problematic phone use. Extraversion is associated with problematic phone use. Low openness to experience is associated with problematic phone use O People who are more conscientious are more likely to have problematic phone use. 5 points Save Answer
