Abstract：
Personality is a central concept and a cross-domain explanatory factor in psychology to characterize and differentiate individuals. Surprisingly, among the many studies on oculomotor behavior, only a few have investigated how personality influences the exploration of a visual stimulus. Due to the limited number of existing studies, it is still uncertain if markers of personality in eye movements are always observable in eye movements across various exploration contexts. Here, introducing a novel concept of gaze-based signatures of personality, we used visual exploration metrics to detect personality signatures across various exploration contexts (visual search and free-viewing on images and webpages) in 91 participants. Personality data were collected as in the reference paper that validated the French version of the Big Five Inventory. Linear regression analyses demonstrated that while Extraversion and Openness to Experience did not correlate with any particular exploration metric, the other three traits-Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism-correlated robustly with all exploration metrics in different visual exploration contexts. Our study provides evidence for the capture of the gaze-based signature of personality from very brief eye movement recordings.
摘要：
人格是心理学中表征和区分个体的核心概念和跨域解释因素。令人惊讶的是,在许多关于动眼行为的研究中，只有少数人研究了人格如何影响对视觉刺激的探索。由于现有研究数量有限，在各种探索环境下的眼球运动中，是否总是可以观察到眼球运动中的人格标记仍然不确定。这里,引入了基于凝视的个性签名的新概念，我们使用视觉探索指标在91名参与者的各种探索环境(视觉搜索和图像和网页的自由观看)中检测人格特征.人格数据的收集与验证法语版“五大清单”的参考文件一样。线性回归分析表明，虽然经验的外向性和开放性与任何特定的勘探指标都不相关，其他三个特征-责任心，宜人，和神经质与不同视觉探索环境中的所有探索指标密切相关。我们的研究为从非常简短的眼动记录中捕获基于凝视的人格特征提供了证据。
