Modelling and Analysing Behaviours and Emotions Via Complex User Interactions Modelling and Analysing Behaviours and Emotions via Complex User Interactions Mohamed Mostafa Mohamed Sayed Ahmed May 2018 arXiv:1902.07683v1 [cs.HC] 20 Feb 2019 Abstract Over the past 15 years, the volume, richness and quality of data collected from the combined social networking platforms has increased beyond all expectation, provid- ing researchers from a variety of disciplines to use it in their research. Perhaps more impactfully, it has provided the foundation for a range of new products and services, transforming industries such as advertising and marketing, as well as bringing the chal- lenges of sharing personal data into the public consciousness. But how to make sense of the ever-increasing volume of big social data so that we can better understand and improve the user experience in increasingly complex, data-driven digital systems. This link with usability and the user experience of data-driven system bridges into the wider field of human-computer interaction (HCI), attracting interdisciplinary researchers as we see the demand for consumer technologies, software and systems, as well as the in- tegration of social networks into our everyday lives. The fact that the data largely posted on social networks tends to be textual, provides a further link to linguistics, psychology and psycholinguistics to better understand the relationship between human behaviours offline and online. In this thesis, we present a novel conceptual framework based on a complex digital system using collected longitudinal datasets to predict system status based on the per- sonality traits and emotions extracted from text posted by users. The system framework was built using a dataset collected from an online scholarship system in which 2000 stu- dents had their digital behaviour and social network behaviour collected for this study. We contextualise this research project with a wider review and critical analysis of the current psycholinguistics, artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction literat- ure, which reveals a gap of mapping and understanding digital profiling against system status. Through developing and applying a hybrid approach of data science and data analysis techniques to the datasets which ultimately led to the development of the novel concep- tual model and PMSys system. The empirical foundation and validation is underpinned by a chain of experiments exploring the association and interrelations between the key parameters, linking back to the wider literature, which is used to improve the response of the intelligent agents based on the reported errors, as well as predicting the emotions raised by the user and selecting the appropriate answer. By extracting the user’s beha- viour (personality traits and emotions), the proposed conceptual model predicted 68% of the system statuses (idle, down, slow and error). Furthermore, a web-based applica- tion was developed to simulate events to users and to verify the framework; this model predicted 61% of the system statuses. Alongside the wider academic dissemination of this work, features of this novel model and system are currently being commercialised as part of an intelligent chatbot engine to provides a customer services support to a range of commercial clients across a variety of industrial sectors. ii Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor Prof. Tom Crick MBE for his continuous support during my PhD study and related academic work – for his patience, motivation, and immense knowledge.

Bottom-Up Construction of a Personality Taxonomy 2 Abstract In pursuit of a more systematic and comprehensive framework for personality assessment, we introduce procedures for assessing personality traits at the lowest level: nuances. We argue that constructing a personality taxonomy from the bottom up addresses some of the limitations of extant top-down assessment frameworks (e.g., the Big Five), including the opportunity to resolve confusion about the breadth and scope of traits at different levels of organization, evaluate unique and reliable trait variance at the item level, and clarify jingle/jangle issues in personality assessment.

  • An Introduction to the Five-Factor Model and Its Applications
    An Introduction to the Five-Factor Model and Its Applications Robert R. McCrae National Institute on Aging, NIH Oliver P. John University of California at Berkeley ABSTRACT The five-factor model of personality is a hierarchical organi- zation of personality traits in terms of five basic dimensions: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience. Research using both natural language adjectives and theoretically based per- sonality questionnaires supports the comprehensiveness of the model and its applicability across observers and cultures. This article summarizes the history of the model and its supporting evidence; discusses conceptions of the nature of the factors; and outlines an agenda for theorizing about the origins and operation of the factors. We argue that the model should prove useful both for individual assessment and for the elucidation of a number of topics of interest to personality psychologists. What are the basic dimensions of personality, the most important ways in which individuals differ in their enduring emotional, interpersonal, experiential, attitudinal, and motivational styles? Personality theorists have offered hundreds of candidates, and for decades factor analysts attempted to bring order to the resulting confusion by factoring person- ality scales. Instead of resolving the issue, however, these studies only contributed another layer of controversy, most familiar in the compet- We are grateful to Michael Bond, Peter Borkenau, David Buss, Paul Costa, Donald Fiske, Lew Goldberg, Robert Hogan, and Warren Norman for comments on this manu- script, and to Stephen G.

  • Ubiquitous Personality-Trait Concepts in 13 Diverse and Isolated Languages: a Cluster–Classification Approach
    European Journal of Personality, Eur. J. Pers. 34: 164–179 (2020) Published online 3 March 2020 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/per.2246 Ubiquitous Personality-Trait Concepts in 13 Diverse and Isolated Languages: A Cluster–Classification Approach JOSHUA K. WOOD1*, MICHAEL GURVEN2 and LEWIS R. GOLDBERG3 1School of Psychology, Deakin University, Geelong, Australia 2Department of Anthropology, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA 3Oregon Research Institute, USA Abstract: There is longstanding interest in the generalizability of personality across diverse cultures. To investigate the generalizability of personality concepts, we examined the English translations of individual-difference entries from the dictionaries of 12 small-scale societies previously studied for ubiquity of individual differences plus the dic- tionary of an additional society not previously studied in this manner. These 13 societies are highly diverse in geo- graphical location, culture, and language family; their languages developed in isolation from modern-world languages. The goal of our exploratory research was to discover ubiquitous personality concepts in these 13 indepen- dent societies and their languages, providing a window into personality concepts across a broad range of cultures and languages. This study used clusters of empirically related terms (e.g. brave, courageous, and daring), based on a tax- onomy of English-language personality concepts that consisted of 100 personality-trait clusters. English-language definitions of dictionary entries from the 13 languages were matched to the meanings of the synonym clusters. The cluster–classification method uncovered nine ubiquitous personality concepts, plus six that were present in at least 12 of the 13 languages. The nine ubiquitous personality concepts include some not previously identified and suggest a core of possibly universal concepts.

  • Five-Factor Model of Personality Christopher J
    Five-Factor Model of Personality Christopher J. Soto, Joshua J. Jackson Introduction The five-factor model of personality (FFM) is a set of five broad trait dimensions or domains, often referred to as the “Big Five”: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism (sometimes named by its polar opposite, Emotional Stability), and Openness to Experience (sometimes named Intellect). Highly extraverted individuals are assertive and sociable, rather than quiet and reserved. Agreeable individuals are cooperative and polite, rather than antagonistic and rude. Conscientious individuals are task- focused and orderly, rather than distractible and disorganized. Neurotic individuals are prone to experiencing negative emotions, such as anxiety, depression, and irritation, rather than being emotionally resilient. Finally, highly open individuals have a broad rather than narrow range of interests, are sensitive rather than indifferent to art and beauty, and prefer novelty to routine. The Big Five/FFM was developed to represent as much of the variability in individuals’ personalities as possible, using only a small set of trait dimensions. Many personality psychologists agree that its five domains capture the most important, basic individual differences in personality traits and that many alternative trait models can be conceptualized in terms of the Big Five/FFM structure. The goal of this article is to reference, organize, and comment on a variety of classic and contemporary papers related to the Big Five/FFM. This article begins with papers that introduce the Big Five/FFM structure, approach it from different theoretical perspectives, and consider possible objections to it (General Overviews, Theoretical Perspectives, and Critiques). Next, it discusses papers providing evidence for the Big Five/FFM as a model of basic trait structure (Big Five/FFM Structure).

However, quantifying a group personality construct has almost exclusively been accomplished by aggregating individual group member five-factor personality scores to derive the group personality score. This type of operationalizing rests on the assumption that collective personality exists and has a five-factor structure, makes results context specific, and limits cross-comparison of different types of groups.
