The relationship between extraversion and neuroticism and the different uses of the Internet

A study was conducted that used a self-report scale to measure the usage of Internet services among men and women as well as to examine the relationship of Internet usage patterns to extraversion and neuroticism. Three factors of Internet services were considered: leisure services, information services, and social services. Among men, extraversion was closely correlated to the use of leisure services, while among women, neuroticism was correlated to the use of social services.
