30th APS Annual Convention

Predicting Psychological Characteristics From Digital Footprints

Friday, May 25, 2018 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · Personality/Emotion

The digital footprints individuals leave behind when using smartphones or computers can reveal their psychological traits. Presenters will demonstrate how this methodology can uncover new psychological relationships, but also enable companies and governments to micro-target individuals. Lastly, we will identify factors underlying the perceived morality of such personalization.
