主題語(yǔ)境十六：熱點(diǎn)話題(二)

在社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)時(shí)代，第一印象有時(shí)甚至在我們真正見(jiàn)到某人之前就已經(jīng)形成了——人們的頭像已經(jīng)揭示了他們的性格。

頭像能展示你的個(gè)性

When we meet strangers for the first time， we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands， talk， or walk. In the age of social networking， however， the first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person—that is， by looking at his/her profile photo.

According to a recent study， these social images say a lot about our personality. In the study， presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media， a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile pictures of 66，000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3，200 of their tweets. At the same time， about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality type. The researchers wanted to find out if there was a connection between personality traits—like openness， extroversion， and neuroticism—and a persons profile picture.

According to the results， open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photos because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. Meanwhile， neurotic（神經(jīng)質(zhì)的） people often hold back their negative emotions. They try to avoid showing their faces. Instead， they use an image of something like a pet， a car or a building. Thats because neurotic people are strongly influenced by the “strong social norms（規(guī)范） against a very sad or angry appearance in profile pictures，” Daniel Preoiuc?Pietro from the University of Pennsylvania wrote in the research paper.

Apart from the objects in profile pictures， the colors used in them also give us some hints about the photos owner. For example， extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images， as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off， the researchers wrote.

Although social media photos usually represent an extension of ones self， they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view， according to the researchers. So， when choosing a profile photo， maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image wed like to convey. After all， first impressions always last.
