While there were statistically significant associations between extraversion and Facebook use; number of Facebook friends; and time spent on Facebook; the proportion of variance explained in all instances was low as demonstrated by the coefficient of determination (r 2 ). This indicates that the extent of the relationships being accounted between the measured variables was too small (Table 7). The results were only marginally significant, and hence should be treated with caution. Hypothesis 2 predicted that neuroticism is positively related to Facebook use such that individuals who scored high on this trait spend more time on Facebook and seek more Facebook friends.
