Abstract
The aim of this study was to study the possible relationship between the privacy settings in Facebook profiles and two personality dimensions, extraversion and neuroticism, in relation to gender. The Privacy on Facebook Questionnaire and the Eysenck Personality Inventory was applied to a sample of 92 women and 70 men, all users of Facebook. No significant relationship was found between extraversion or neuroticism and the privacy settings of Facebook profiles, but the results showed significant gender differences with respect to privacy. These results highlight the importance of gender in the behavior in social networks and the need to study other personality variables that may affect the privacy settings in Facebook profile.
