Online time of slovak and czech adults and its relation to big five
INTRODUCTION: In the present article, we focused
on the relationship between time spent online
and factors of Big Five in the population of adults.
We assume that there exist the specifics of time
spent online in the relation to age, sex, residence
and nationality as mediating variables. Our main
assumption was focused on the predictors of the time
spent time which we identified in basal personality
tendencies – factors of Big Five. METHODS: Our
research sample consisted of 2,501 adults in the
Slovak and Czech Republic, ranging in age from 18 to
99 (M = 39.02, SD = 20.15). We collected data using
2 questionnaires: Internet use questionnaire for
adults and Big Five Inventory BFI 10. Used methods
were available in both Slovak and Czech language.
RESULTS: The main result of our statistical analysis
is the output from the regression analysis. We found
that the age and the conscientiousness are strong
predictors of the time spent online by the adults.
The nationality, sex, residence and neurotism are
also the predictors of some variables covering time
spent online. CONCLUSION: Our data supported the
predicted relationship between time spent online and
factors of Big Five, concretely the conscientiousness
