| dc.description.abstract | The aim of the present study was to investigate a link between alpha wave activity and
personality, in a sample of thirty-five volunteers (M=20, F= 15). The participants firstly
completed John & Srivastava’s Big Five Inventory of personality. EEG activity was then
recorded from the frontal regions while the participants underwent varying levels of
stimulus. Statistical analyses demonstrated a positive correlation between alpha wave
activity and agreeableness in an intermittent stimulus condition. However, no other
significant correlations were observed. Therefore, it was concluded that investigation a
link between alpha wave activity and agreeableness might be a useful avenue of research
for future studies. Moreover the possible benefits and limitations of measuring alpha
wave activity from the frontal lobes are discussed. Author keywords: Personality, extraversion, agreeablness, alpha, wave, EEG | en |
