Article Review: “Who Bloggs? Personality Predictors of Blogging”

The author of this article points to Costa and McCrea (2002)and personality traits which include: neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openness to experience and consciousnesses; and examined which of these five traits may be predictors of bloggers. Results indicated that personality does play a role in future bloggers and that those who have a neurotic personality are more likely than those who don't. Additionally, this authors research indicated that women are more likely to fall in this category.
