A repeated measures ANOVA was conducted with Facebook Profile
(professional, moderately-professional, unprofessional) as the withinsubject factor and participant “willingness to hire” the Facebook user as
the dependent measure. The effect of Facebook profile on willingness to
hire was not significant,
On a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 was “extremely likely,”
participants were no more willing to hire the professionaluser
compared to the moderately-professionaluser or the unprofessionaluser. Despite clearly
influencing perceptions of the Big Five personality dimensions and the
accuracy of those perceptions, the content failed to produce differences in
willingness to hire.
