  12. Research Abstract Abstract In the increasingly user-generated Web, users’ personality traits may be crucial factors leading them to engage in this participatory media. The literature suggests personality is relevant to many types of interactions; it has been shown to be useful in predicting job satisfaction, professional and romantic relationship success, and even preference for different interfaces. Using a sample of adults (18-50 years), this study investigated the relationship between the perception of self, perception of external factors and their actual social profile & social media usage. Results from this sample cohort reveal 10 distinct ‘personality’ groups. Further, the findings show significant consistency across gender, age and cultural lines. Our research is designed to explore the implications this has for social media design, interface design, and broader social media marketing domains.
